Salt in my beer - lots of it. Any hope?

[Poobah58]

Throw some tequila in there!

 

[menschmaschine]

Put some pepper in there. That should even it out.

 

[arturo7]

+ 1 on save it for cooking, especially marinade or brine.

 

[c.n.budz]

Actually, saving it for cooking and making something really tasty out of it would be a funny way of thumbing your nose at your swmbo's "revenge"

 

[Sir Humpsalot]

swmbo's "revenge"

The beer now has been named!!!!!!

 

[bwitt]

Dude, unless you got caught tapping her sister I can't see what reason she could have to mess with your beer. Although it would have been amusing on our end when you posted in a few weeks trying to have us diagnose the salty flavor in your beer.

Ok. Let's just say that what I did to deserve this had a lot to do with me drinking. Hence the ruined beer... She really isn't that mean.

Ahha! so you got drunk and tapped her sister.

 

[EvilTOJ]

Another vote here for using it to cook with, and telling us the story on how you tapped that ass.

 

[scottfro]

distill it, the salt would be left behind after the alcohol and water evaporate

probably would loose some other flavors but would be a cool experiment if you had access to the equipment

 

[Sea]

"don't dump it unless it tastes like satan's anus"

I'm at a loss, and I know I shouldn't even ask, but... what exactly is that flavor?

I guess it's probably the burning ring of fire!

 

[Dr_Deathweed]

another vote for saving it for cooking and for the rest of the story!

As has been said before, if you bottle, you probably wont be able to carb, but what does that matter if your just cooking with it?

 

[EvilTOJ]

I'm at a loss, and I know I shouldn't even ask, but... what exactly is that flavor?

Looks like somebody's never been to prison! :fro:

+1 That was exactly what I was thinking when the cooking idea came up.

 

[Melana]

Come on, we all enjoy a good story!

There is no punishment suitable for putting salt in beer... Can you guilt her into many many many sexual favors???

 

[JustDave]

In her defense, maybe she thought you were supposed to dry hop with salt?

I think we need to hear this story.

"SWMBO's Revenge" Oh, that's definitely the name! Any label ideas?

I know everyone wants to hear the story but, honestly, it's nothing exciting/funny and kind of personal. No tapping any sisters or anything like that!

Seriously though, if I bottle this for cooking without carbing it - do I need to keep it in the fridge? Or can I store it in the basement?

 

[the_bird]

I'd go ahead and bottle it like you normally would (I wouldn't nother with priming sugar, I'd be shocked if it carbed). As long as everything is sanitized, you should be able to keep it around as long as any other beer.

Someone said that the salt will drop out of suspension over time; the salt will crystalize (and settle) if the water/beer is oversaturated, which I doubt it would be with two cups of salt in five gallons. It wouldn't ALL drop out, anyway.

 

[conpewter]

Come on its the internet, the story doesn't need to be true!

 

[Craig311]

Come on its the internet, the story doesn't need to be true!

True... However, the guesses (and suggestions) so far have been much more entertaining!

 

[modenacart]

You could pretend you are that old guy at the bar who keeps dumping salt in his corona and drink away. Maybe after about 8 of them you won't care anymore.

 

[the_bird]

"Dammit, I'm still thirsty! Well, better have another beer."

 

[c.n.budz]

True... However, the guesses (and suggestions) so far have been much more entertaining!

Oh, now I get it. Craig got wasted, passed out, and wet the bed...

 

[megavites]

Nah, i heard Craig got totally looped, hit 15min for the microwave popcorn and puked on the cat.

 

[modenacart]

I heard Criag got drunk, kicked his father in law in the nuts and told his mother in law he had better ****s than her.

 

[modenacart]

Or criag got drunk and tapped his mother in law. I can't remember because I was drunk too.

 

[EvilTOJ]

really? I heard Craig ended up naked from the waist down in the front yard again.

 

[JustDave]

I heard Craig said that the dinner SWMBO cooked was, and I quote, "a little too salty".

Thus resulting in the aforementioned "Too salty?? I'll show him salty!" moment.

 

[Sea]

I heard Craig told SWMBO that he wished she was saltier, and......

Looks like somebody's never been to prison! :fro:

Every day that I wake up a free man is a blessing!

[scinerd3000]

dude...post the recipe if you wouldnt mind. im kinda curious

 

[Craig311]

You are all really close...

The recipe was the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale from Clonebrews. Don't have the exact recipe handy right now but could post it later if you're interested.

 

[Craig311]

I just realized I'm never going to be able to ask a serious question here again without getting some kind of reply having to do with salt...
