Torn sack

[digdan]

I tore my sack while brewing ....

my muslin bag broke open spilling 2lbs of maize and crystal 10l malt into my to-be wort. I tried to continue to follow the recipe as normal.

What should have I done?

What I did do is sanitized a giant screen scooper and scoop it all out. Took nearly 20+ scoops

Will this potentially effect the outcome of my brew?

 

[ericm]

it'll be fine. scooping it out was the right thing to do.

I tore my sack once while skiing, but never when brewing. Man did that hurt.

I'm sure the beer will be fine, who knows may be the best ever and you'll always want to tear your sack on brew day

 

[LooyvilleLarry]

Right where my mind wen CW!

 

[conpewter]

OUCH! Yes scooping it out was the right course. It will all turn out just fine. Please Please... protect your sack.

You did the right thing... relax dont worry

Oh.... since this was preboil... there was no need to sanitize the scooper.... when you boiled your wort you would have MORE then killed anything that might have been in it...

 

[digdan]

Thanks! Maybe I'll wear a cup while brewing from now on

I'm sensitive, so I use a SS braid.

I know a guy that got his clothes stuck in a tractor PTO shaft. It ripped every thread off him. AND, his sack.

yep. for that matter, there's probably waaay more bacteria on the grain itself than that there is on any kitchen implements you have

Not to mention the bacteria on your sack!

I keep mine soaking in starsan at all times. thankfully, my girlfriend doesn't fear the foam.

So that's how the "nut-brown" ales get that wonderful color... and flavor.

I hopped a fence once and tore my sack. I have a beer I call "Single Nut Brown Ale".

Heh heh, sack jokes.

It will be hard to make a cream ale with a torn sack.
