Home Brew Things that Sound Dirty but aren't

[BigDomeBrew]

So I got my Northern Brewer catalog the other day and came across the Portuguese Floor Corker. I'd never noticed it before, but it made me laugh. I thought that in a different type of magazine, this could mean something very different. So I'm left wondering, what are some other Home Brew/beer/etc things that sound like they aren't for mixed company, but are. Anybody else have this same type of experience?

Yeast infection comes to mind.

I don't have one off the top of my head, but the Portuguese Floor Corker... Wow man. That one I chuckled out loud at.

Well played BigDomeBrew, well played.

On a related note....

Buffalo Sweat
Etc.

I've said to someone you need a bung for the air lock, they thought I was kidding.

Cork soakers

I remember hearing a story of the two crazy wine makers who years ago actually soaked each others corks at the same time. I think it was some time between '68 and '70

Threw half a pound of CaraPils in my last batch... man, I have never before gotten such good head.

I sparged into my kettle reading this thread.

[zilch]

Premature flocculation. Hate that problem.

[fastfocus]

Rack (obvious), sparge, as in "Don't you dare sparge on me!"

I was thinking " i need help sparging" or "look it's flocculating"

 

[BoomerHarley]

I'm still giggling at Portuguese floor corker

Ya, sounds kinda like the "Dirty Sanchez" don't it?

 

[hotspurdotus]

Vertical Tasting

 

[m_c_zero]

Has taint been mentioned?

 

[Felixio]

No one touched "blow off"?! Come on people!

 

[adiochiro3]

How about Full Krausen? Blow off tube? Auto siphon? It's amazing how fast a mind can twist just about anything in that direction.

On a related note, anyone ever do a Google search for what you thought was a common, innocent term and have crazy, twisted crap show up -- even when safe or moderate search is on? Can't remember what the most recent one was, but SWMBO and I were sure glad the kids weren't around! Apparently there is no end and nothing sacred where human depravity is concerned...
