Is this something to worry about???

[mrfurlly]

So i brew up YooperBrews DeadGuy Clone yesterday. Everything went great. Hit all my temps, og etc, even had a pork tenderloin on the bbq smoking away while the brew was going.
This is the weird part.....
I come home today, eat dinner and decide to go check for activity in the fermenter. I opened the door to my brew room, and see something black out of the corner of my eye. A f$#kin CROW is flying right at me!!!! I duck for cover, slam the door and yell HOLLY SH$T!!!
So i go for backup.....SWMBO, not much help but after a few hours we finaly get that crow to fly out a window. Then I think to myself, I brew Deadguy Ale and a Crow shows up in my basement......WEIRD! (there are no windows in my brew room, and the door is always shut)


(he came in the dryer vent)

wtf -- you shouldn't drink that beer. PM me and I'll send you my address. I'll dispose of it properly.

I wouldn't worry at all, as long as he didn't poo on the airlock, you are fine.

At least you can give this brew a unique name:
Black Crow
Dead Crow (if you had a gun)
I need to get a screen on my dryer vent Ale

Your beer is cursed. Or blessed. Depending on what superstitions you want to use.

 

[Yooper]

Don't blame me! I only post the recipes.

The hex is free. When you send six bottles, I'll remove the hex. Thank you for playing "Yooper's plan to own all the beer". Thank you.

 

[SkewedBrewing]

That seems like a cool omen to me...

Yooper, would you say you are striving to have a beeropoly? Or would it be more of a beermpire, with taxes and territories? If its the latter, I will gladly govern anything having to do with Stout...

 

[ChshreCat]

It could also mean that some guy in leather and goth face makeup is out to kill you for something you did to him and his girlfriend.

 

[Gderem]

Dude you just made me spit my IPA all over the computer screen.... That was funny.

Gotta name it Dead Crow Ale.

 

[buzzkill]

as long as you didnt screem like a little girl.


better than eating crow.

 

[Pangea]

You should integrate "crow" into the beer name now.

 

[Christian]

I agree with the others saying this has to re-named Dead Crow or Crow Ale or something like that. Back in High School i was attacked by a crow walking home from school and my friends called me crow from then on.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

It's a dark omen for sure.... that maybe the beer will be "devilishly" good? Derp...

 

[nutcase]

wow. either that beer is going to be the best ever or the worst. there is no in between now for that beer

 

[Donthoseme]

When i was a kid i was in my parents basement lifting weights when i started to smell gas from the boiler. My dad came down and we started searching. as we pull up the exaust piping for the boiler two dead crows fall out. That scared the **** out of me.

You should of taken a picture for everyone.

 

[EvilTOJ]

Maybe your house is built on an old Indian burial ground.

 

[Homercidal]

Nevermore!

I think the this thread should be called 'Did I ruin my beer???'

Dead Crow Ale is too obvious. Make it something like 'Motherf$%kin crow flew at me! Ale.'

 

[conpewter]

Sweet, it is so good that crows materialize and come out through the airlock!

 

[Revvy]

This deserves some sort of honorable mention or something as coolest brew stories...

Definitely should call it "Dead Crow" ale....

Oh please post it in this thread....it should go into the canon...

It's not but, not a one of us here wouldn't.

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten HBT DeadGuy lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my fermenter chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my fermenter chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'"

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Nevermore!

Ahhh. I missed this post. You beat me to it.

This rocks Brother Gila!!!

 

[butterflygirl]

Definitely should call it "Dead Crow"

 

[Tsuyako]

Not to sound like a complete and total nerd but you do know that the bird in that poem is a raven right? Not a crow.

Anywho, in direct conflict to my above statement how about 'dead poe crow' for name?

 

[BrewBrain]

I'm cracking up reading this thread. Classic story.

I wonder how many people missed this because they assumed you dropped your airlock cover in the primary or something and passed reading

Drunken Crow Ale. It isn't dead. It was clearly there for a little nip.

Not to sound like a complete and total ass but, you know that a Crow and Raven are the same genus, right? (Corvus). And that the latin meaning of the word Corvus is Raven.
