My daughter sneezed in the wort!

The Yeast should win, the cold bacteria prefer warmer temps.

My three year old son did the same thing!! The beer was wonderful and didn't last very long. Anyways, what can you do about it?? Relax, worrying won't change it.

This thread needs an update.

Here's an update. Well, there was no visible or palatable contamination to speak of in my beer once I kegged it.

However, it ended up being off recipe due to using too much extract. Once I realized that the OG was too high, I tried to salvage it by diluting it down - but that just through everything out of balance.

So, in other words, the beer didn't seem to show any signs of contamination but I ended up dumping it (!!!) as I had two other beers ready for kegging (and no empty kegs) and I knew I wouldn't drink much more of it.

I hope your daughter will remember for the rest of her life the look on your face when it happened!

I hope she doesn't. :/

I doubt there will be any issues. I am sure particles in the air drop in the wort while people are brewing without any problems, as well as insects, leaves, etc.

One brew day last summer, we brought the boil pot in the the house to cool and transfer to the carboy.

We found a june bug floating! I was so frustrated, but fished him out and commenced with the transfer.

We brewed it on the last day of June, so we called it June Bug Beer. It was delicious.

I know a guy who was the brewmaster at a brewpub. He told me the story of how once while casting out of the brew kettle, his old, nasty, sweaty hat fell in!

They sold a lot of that beer!

This beer will probably turn out wonderful and you will need your 'lil brew buddie's co-operative nose juices for all future brews!

it will grow faster than any other bacteria forcing them out of existence...by this point if the yeast started vigorously your pretty much home free. Now all you need is a brew-cage to keep the daughter out

Lake Forest CA! Man I miss being back in OC. I used to work on El Toro!

I accidentally sneezed in my own beer once, just one of those quick sneezes that you don't even feel coming. The beer turned out fine.
