Lactobacillus and Diarrhea

[madscientist451]

Life's too short to keep sh!tty beer on tap. Yeah, I've done it, I've drank it, even kicked the keg. But sometimes its better to just open the tap down the drain and move on. If you have limited keg space, (or limited bottles) I would suggest brewing something else, pull a pint now and then and when you need the space, or the new beer is ready, dump it and put something better on tap.

lol, i hope you mean...well i was about to say NVM, but you know with crappy craft beer names...i'm trying to think of what would be catchy and rhyme with lactic? but like 'smooth' and not too direct?

Just gotta say, back when I sometimes drank more than my body tolerated well, some squirts would likely follow - along with feeling generally crisp around the edges of course. Can't do that sort of thing anymore. Maybe OP should back off a bit while the guts recover? Just a thought...

We've gone this far. May as well let it all "come out!"

here i thought we were talking about the fact it wouldn't stay in?

 

[slayer021175666]

Yep. Best to let it out and, not fight it!

 

[bracconiere]

and remember if you've been drinking not to miss a trip before bed!

 

[slayer021175666]

Man. You guys are sick

 

[Cat Noodle]

Interesting. I ended up reading this because I have a batch in the secondary that got me searching mold and infections. Read a thread on sharing your infection, anyway, I love you guys since after looking at multiple photos, I think the stuff floating in mine is normal. I hope. I got gutsy and tasted, tastes pretty good. So I wont dump as originally almost happened.

This thread brought back memories, and something I had not considered way back when. We are cheeseheads. Other half & I visited my little brother in Phoenix, and he took us on a road trip to see the Grand Canyon. On the way, we saw a micro brew in the middle of nowhere, turned around and stopped in because, well, we are from Wisconsin and it said beer.

We sampled many different brews. Not even 50 miles down the road..not the squirts (thankfully), but gas! Bad. Like massive rip every 5 minutes or less. All of us. The OMG kind. I could tell when the guys.. well.. but being a lady I was silent. But somehow they could still tell. It was hot, AC on in the car, but I think we darn near wore out his window rolling down button on that trip. We laughed a lot, because what else can you do.

We all thought it was because we had just enjoyed unpasteurized beer, first thing anyone that has tried milk right out of the bulk tank thinks, but now am wondering if it may have been either an infected - on purpose or not, or chock full of probiotics we were not used to.

 

[bracconiere]

but being a lady I was silent

for all these years you held it in, and now just finally get relief!

 

[sibelman]

Could have been the beer. I wonder about the bar snacks or burgers that might have been eaten with the beer. Cheers!

 

[Cat Noodle]

Nope sibelman, we did not eat anything, we just stopped in to sample liquids. We knew it was the beer, just not sure which one. We all ordered different brews, but then taste tested each others..then repeat. OK, maybe repeat a few times. Looking back I suppose it was good we headed down the road when we did before stinking up the place. bracconiere, I really enjoy your humor.

So the OP mentioned this is not the first time having a possible infection prob... replace all your plastic tubing and such, clean and sanitize all the rest of you equipment.

The posting was a curiosity. Not, a ongoing problem.
I will remember from The experience however....
T'is many a slip, twix the tun and the lip!

Amstel and hard boiled eggs will achieve the same effects.

It sounds like you have a chronic infection problem with your brewing and you need to take a good long look at your brewing processes and equipment.

If you're talking to me, the problem is over. It was contamination in the bucket spigots.

LOL, it's funny because it looks like a really healthy yeast slurry on your driveway for some reason....

 

[slayer021175666]

That yeast is so ugly, you'd have to smother it in bacon grease to get a dog to lick it!

If that nasty looking ugly pile of diarrhea, looks like a good yeast slurry to you, I never ever want to drink your beer! : )
Aw, F+#k it! I'll drink it!
BUT!!,

I didn't know that you could drink enough beer to crap on your driveway and have a viable yeast to put in your next beer FROM the crap on your driveway!
New brewing techniques every time I look around!
