Had a pint left over after transferring to bottles..

[BenCL]

Drank it.

So I was transferring to bottles from the fermenter and there was just over a pint left.

Put it in a jar, cooled it and drank it later that afternoon.

Im still alive.

Tasted like un-carbonated beer, maybe a little yeasty.

Just wanted to share this as I googled doing such a thing and got a lot of results for tasting samples and small amounts.

If anyone has better info regarding this being right or wrong please share.


Edit: got some mad farts, but thats about it.

OMG, you might die.... Call Poison control now. Wait, drink mass quantities of maple syrup and you will live do drink more another day.

I don't get it?

You made beer. You drank beer.

Either I'm missing something or this isn't news.

I just pulled a gravity sample right before bottling. it's chillin' in the fridge now, will drink it later

as many different techniques and processes there are brewing beer, I thought this was one everyone (who bottles) did

 

[PLOVE]

who wastes beer? Carbonated or not, still beer. . .

 

[andrewmaixner]

How do you think people drank beer before glass bottles? before barrels? before any kind of pressurizer vessels?

BTW, we are just messing with you... Have fun with it...

 

[TurnipGreen]

I always drink the samples and the leftovers. I think it's fun tasting the beer at different stages. Some times I take a gravity sample just so I have an excuse to try the beer. I also crack open one bottle a week as my beers bottle condition. How else do you know exactly when it's done?

The gas was probably from that bean you ate.

 

[Calder]

Every time I bottle, I run a glass off when transferring to the bottling bucket, and drink it while bottling. I don't bother chilling it.

Strange, since you were drinking - oh wait - uncarbonated young beer.

The major thing I see wrong is if you got a whole pint you should have been able to get another bottle out of it. Dip tube on your bottling bucket?

I never have a full pint but I have a glass of flat beer every time I bottle. 2, depending on if I checked the gravity that day. I probably experience an uptick in methane production, but there's no way I'd notice.

 

[NatureOfTheYeast]

I'm another one in the camp of "doesn't everyone do this?".

I like to drink my gravity sample from the fermenter, then drink the primed beer from the bottom of the bottling bucket. It's helped me refine recipes by seeing what the beer would taste like with more sweetness. Mostly, it's just because it's beer! I bottle right out of the cold crash, too, so the beer is usually at cellar temp by the time I'm done.

Never had a pint though.

I once set a bottle slightly behind my bottle rack. 2 days later I find it and you know I drank it. Warm, green, no carbonation, open top. And of course it was good. I'd do it again.

Come on, now. He wants this to go away so he can let the post slide into anonymity and be forgotten.

 

[TorMag]

Just because it needs to be bumped.....

 

[bruteforce]

Ya know, I drink beer that is purposely infected with stuff all the time.

Can't say I'd drink a pint of leftover beer out of the fermenter though. I always have about 2-3 ounces to see what I think about it before it carbs, but yeah. SOP I would think.

 

[orangehero]

I usually put the leftovers in a small sealed bottle in the fridge to settle. Then I'll carefully decant into a plastic soda bottle and force carbonate it with a carbonator cap.

 

[LBussy]

Subbed.

 

[burninator]

I've occasionally lifted the bucket directly to my mouth to get at those last few drops.

Bizarre for sure! Lucky you didn't get the squirts drinking a whole pint of the stuff

+1 - Maybe he ran out of bottles though. In which case I'd have emptied a full one that's ready and drank it while refilling the bottle with the green stuff.

 

[FloppyKnockers]

If you don't drink beer out of the fermenter with a silly straw you're wasting everybody's time.

 

[mcspanner]

OP just noticed that you're a relatively new member (only since Nov 2015). With that in mind I want to reiterate that all this ribbing is good natured, just on the off chance you're not yet dialled into our humour here. [emoji481]

 

[arnobg]

This one time at band camp....I drank an un-carbonated beer sample.

 

[BenCL]

So im drinking a bottle of my belgium bitter only after 4 days of bottle conditioning...is that ok to drink? Spewed out of the bottle eveywhere

 

[BenCL]

Its amazingly fruity by the way. Heaps of nelson sauvin during and dry and a bunch of wattle flowers around 7 days and a bit of citra . a few ants from the flowers

 

[Redlantern]

always sample at bottling!!!

This is Chinzacca. Sorry for the display of the logo on my sampling glass. Love treehouse - feel bad for them with me putting my stuff in their glass.

Why would this give you the squirts?

Anything with too much yeast can create air in your gut, so farts which can affect poops

 

[BenCL]

Maybe its the ants. Im sure its the yeast tho
