Mash left for two days??

[rayr87]

OK yeah that got out of hand in a hurry . . . don't worry the baby and my wife will come first and always have.
Yes it is our first. We were in the hospital waiting for her to start having contractions when I posted so we were just sitting around.
Everything went great and we now have a beautiful baby boy. We just got home from the hospital so I will have to take a look/smell and see what to do. Gotta get the wife settled in first.
Everyone calm down I won't be brewing until the little one and SWMBO are healthy and happy.
I'll post back and let you know how it goes. But if its not to nasty Ill probably boil since the only other thing I'll be out is the hops and electricity.

I would toss it out!

Bacteria overtake my spent grains overnight and it smells horrible. I can't imagine drinking it after two days.

 

[JohnnyO]

Congrats on the new addition!

And what exactly is wrong with that as long as your spouse is OK with it? My wife and I just had our third child 3 weeks ago and I was brewing this weekend. As long as my wife is fine with it, some ******** on the Internet isn't going to convince me otherwise.

Nice high speed edit, but cat's out of the bag.

hmmm . . . three kids and you haven't figured out that what women say is often not what they think.

Damn, you caught me.... had second thoughts when I read it out loud... lol

If what she says isn't what she means, that is her problem. Those are usually the kind of games that get played before you get married. If you have a good relationship I would expect your wife has no problem telling you how she really feels. (believe me, mine doesn't)

Congrats! Good to hear everything went well.

When our first was born I was into running. Wife's water broke so the doctor induced labor. Had to sit around waiting for the drugs to work. Left the hospital and went out for a ten miler then home to shower. Took another six hours after that before the birth.

I like the part where he thinks he knows your wife better than you....I think your post before the edit was probably a more accurate description.

So, you're calling me a ********. Nice!

Oh, and it was a pretty overworked joke about women, nothing to bunch your panties about. :cross:

Or was he calling me a ********? I'm getting confused in this pile on.

 

[dantose]

Yeah! I agree with all these posters piling on the OP! Once you have a kid, the only solution is to stop brewing until they turn 21! After all, there is no way of balancing a family with hobbies, that's just crazy!

OP, when you get a moment, reboil and see what happens. You might get lucky and get something nice!

 

[LandoLincoln]

:smack: really? Dude... Toss it and enjoy your new child.

I hope your parenting improves... Not off to a very good start here.



Congrats on the baby

Don't listen to this guy. He obviously does not have his priorities straight.

Gah! Oh no, bacteria in your beer!

It's called a sour mash. And it can be delicious.

Jesus, dude, cut that attitude out. New baby, yeah, but it'll take him a few hours to finish this up and he can spend all the freakin' time he needs to on the baby.

 

[insanim8er]

Maybe not...

I have 3 Blichmann boilermakers with the boil coils and rims rocket ordered and on their way. I'm about to order the BCS controller (got the Nema box already ordered). I have a 14.5 gallon conical. Two March pumps center inlet SS heads. B3 SS quick disconnects. The ultimate sparge arm. 15 three gallon corny kegs. 15+ five gallon Corny kegs... plus a ton of other crap.

I have a pretty amazing set-up that many of the people on this board would KILL for... but I can say with 100% certainty that I'd stop brewing in a heartbeat for my kid.

 

[insanim8er]

lol - There's no attitude. I was semi joking with him. I'm sure he'll be a good father (I hope)

But bottom line is we all have whats important to us in our lives. Beer is not the most important thing in mine. If my wife was in labor, I wouldn't get online to type this regardless if it's a few hours or not. I think the birth of my child and comforting my wife is FAR more important. The fact that this question was in his mind and he took the time to post this during the time he did, in my mind, speaks volumes about a person's priorities.

But we also had a tough pregnancy. There was a point where we thought the baby was lost. She was hospitalized 7 days before the pregnancy and they had to induce her about a month early. Then it came down to an emergency C-section....

So go pour yourself another beer and tell someone else that saving a $20 beer is more important than being with your wife and newborn.

 

[roger_tucker]

Why all the hostility?

Because this is the Internet and it's much easier to flame and insult a faceless recipient than look a person in the eye and do the same.

Full Disclosure: I was just a participant in a thread shut down for hostility. Yes I feel a bit of shame.

How's the view from up there on your horse?

You can't take your life experiences and use those as a basis for everyone else and how they should act. Someone else just posted he went out for 10 mile run while his wife was in labor. My wife was induced. The doctors told me on several occasions to go home, take shower, get changed, and a bite to it. I didn't want to so I didn't. She was in labor for 25hrs then had a C-section. I TOTALLY had time to post on HBT if I wanted to.

Stop judging others and worry about yourself. You have no idea what was and wasn't going on at the time he wrote the original post and even if you did, that gives you no right to judge anyone else.

 

[abeasst]

Had to sit around waiting for the drugs to work. Left the hospital and went out for a ten miler then home to shower.

My wife would have murdered me I tried to leave the hospital.

 

[insanim8er]

Haha... The view is fine my friend. Take off those beer goggles and enjoy it. You speculate a lot. You got it all figured out. Now take a word of your own advice... And I'm done here. This is pointless.

 

[AnOldUR]

My wife would have murdered me I tried to leave the hospital.

It was kind of like what dobe said above. The doctor recommended I leave for a while so my wife could rest. The difference was that she wasn't even in labor yet. Maybe the drugs are different now, but what they used on her to induce labor took a while to work.

It was all pretty boring compared to some birth stories of rushing to the hospital. When her water broke we went to the hospital. The doctor examined her and told us to go home and pack up anything we needed and come back to get the process started. Not to rush. Once she was settled in a room we knew there would be several hours before any contractions started. Going out for a run to relax seemed like a good idea at the time.

Well putting my parenting skills aside . . . I got mama and baby settled in, both got a good couple hour nap and are now feeding. Not much I can do there (both are getting a handle on breast feeding ).
So I snuck out to the shed and man does this thing stink. Got the bag pulled out and up to about 160.
I'll let ya know how it turns out.
Would everyone recommend just fermenting it like normal? Plan on using notty.
I think I might do a no chill and let it sit overnight to cut down on some time . . .

 

[roger_tucker]

I can't help you out on your brew question but I must tell you I respect your level of self control in not engaging. If I had been the OP on this thread I'd have lost my f***ing mind. You are now my new model for handling Internet incivility.

Hope your mash turns out and congratulations to your family

Was it pretty sour? I'm not sure what your hop bill was but you may want to tweak it to something more conducive to a tart beer.

Glad your family is home and settling in. It's a nice feeling.

 

[northcal]

Good luck with the brew!

Well I was always taught to never argue with idiots because they just bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

But just as luck would have it about 5 minutes after I posted that the electricity went out and didn't come back on till after midnight (probably a sign of my bad parenting). . . so its still sitting in the kettle. I'll see if I have time today or not . . . might end up tossing it . . .

I know I'm not one of the ra-ra-ra/don't worry have a homebrew/if given enough time even the duds become stars group....but.....have you actually tried tasting the wort runnigs to see what you got?

If it is super sour and crappy now...why would to expect it to improve? GIGO.

I know, it goes against the typical HBT doctrine that time heals all wounds. Except when it doesn't....
