Trust me when I say we were very very thorough with how well we cleaned our cattle.

Hi mom. Yes I can be there the 12th of December but I need to have the pick up truck back to the shop on the 14th of December so I will not be there when uncle James is there. I am sorry but I cannot make it work. Yes, spaghetti and meatballs is fine. I'm sorry to be so short, I am in the truck and using voice to text for typing. I will call you when I get back to the house. Goodbye.
Can someone explain the Fred the cat reference?
We had a good brew session. I used the cupcakes
wait, so I can use claw-footed tubs for brewing now?
I have suddenly lost all further interest in ever being a homebrew competition judge.
I will never get the past 15 mins of my life back but this thread was win.
How much time do you have to read some hilarity? thread
What?! Someone changed conversational gears without benefit of the clutch.
Better than rusty 55 gallon drums, depending on the enamel coating...
Got that right.
You need to read the True Beer thread to waste serious time.
Ugg, i'm sorry this was posted in error. This has not been my best week is an understatement.
Already done. was a TRUE waste of time.
My buddy who works for CDA in town came over and checked everything out. We talked over the steps, what went wrong, how I cleaned. Unlike you all he has now seen firsthand and heard firsthand and he confirms what I did is enough and he confirms officially there should be no public danger posed by my stout. This takes the weight off my shoulder and can proceed with a good couscous. I have put serious thought into how some of the replies on this thread could affect a future brewery plan that I have as these posts are public. But know that the brewery won't be using this pot, tank or pump. The equipment i inherited is for much larger scale. Most of it is shrinkwrapped and truly no piece of that has been touched by my sewage, which should elliviate all concerns, I want to make that clear. Next step is to wait for fermentation to end and carbonate and bnottle. I will be entering in the contest.

Im still outraged that youre killing beavers to make beer.
Proceeding with good couscous. LOL
My entire point isn't that you have to worry about the stainless - though there's no way in hell I'd quaff anything from "Triple F Brewing Company's" offerings...Faecal Frosting Froth just doesn't make say, "I'll have another, brother."
My point is there's a reason we have sanitary fittings. Because they can be sanitized, and other options, cannot truly be, without an incredible degree of difficulty and diligence. Screw interfaces, improper welds, etc. - we're talking unreachable microorganisms, not macro-deposits of poop.
Anyway, like I said above, I'm hugely into raw milk, cheese - and I know how close that off-white deliciousness is drawn to some brown-green undeliciousness. Everything has its process. I was an OR scrub corpsman, yes, French chef longer than the two gents who decided to call me ignorant and overly emotional have likely been alive, played a very small part in daily QC at Goose Island (micro sampling in packaging; dO2 and dCO2). In each world, there were requirements; and this is one, with its requirements.
There is no absolute and it all comes down to risk, and what you're willing to live with. Call me risk averse to any food surface, of any kind, contaminated with oodles of poo goo.
Faecal Frosting Frothery. Free, it's yours, troll-P.
One thing I would add here is reputational risk. Word will get out your kettle was full of **** and people will always think twice about drinking your beer. Science is on your side but people in the main will think otherwise.
This takes the weight off my shoulder and can proceed with a good couscous.
I will be entering in the contest.
Couscous with goose?
Yes, you dont get mallard reactions from beavers.
Maybe Mel is the new Altraz.
The contest? Which? Be more specific.
Also, change your name, even here on HBT. Nobody gets the mell is weird reference, and it makes you look stupid.
I did some searching and I guess I understand now. Anyone that has a different idea on here is a troll and there’s a witch hunt. A game for the regulars I guess to feel superior.

Care to share some of your "searching". Myself and thousands of others have found this website nothing but helpful with the occasional funny thread discussing using hops in beer or making turd flavored beers
No I dont care to share that with you to be honest.
its been an overwhelming week starting with literally pumping my own feces into my brew pot and the police at my house was overwhelming.
Well no, it's not driven by emotion, it's driven by a life in the profession of delivering food, where the risk of getting people sick is a risk with a very low tolerance threshold. I've already admitted my presumptions. I've also been a cheesemaker, pasture-based smallhold farmed, and been a forceful advocate for the right to drink raw milk, so I don't have a kind of "yuck" when it comes to food.
That doesn't mean I remain unaware. I don't really think it's some kind of "emotionalistic, non-scientific" mindset to keep in mind, I don't know - cholera pandemic?
If a sewer backs up into a restaurant, yes, those parts that were exposed are discarded. They're not cleaned and treated with bleach solution. Do you honestly believe any restaurant would even claim, much less do, otherwise?
At any rate, as I've said a few times, simply my opinion. Each to their own.
Dont forget the "trolls" that make up almost unbelievable stories far fetched stories and try to see how far they can go pulling a fast one on others... I honestly was convinced thats what was going on here by some of the almost unbelievable comments made by the OP...Especially when the OP goes by a handle like "I smell weird" I'm sorry but there are some things that should just never be shared with a room full of strangers or posted on the net... This was one of them. No need to make it seem even more ridiculous (and tragically comical) with the comments about pumping your own feces and such. I still honestly dont know if this is for real or we are being trolled here. Part of me expects the Jerky boys to pop in any time now as sad as it sounds but my gut tells me this is for real.Internet forums are all a little different, and this one is no exception.
There are a scattering of "wisen-heimers" on this one that will agitate for entertainment purposes.
But the majority of them here are genuinely kind, thoughtful, helpful and polite...
...Oh wait, never mind, that was on the quilter's forum.
A little thick skin will serve you well here. Carry on.
