Whats the strangest thing you ever found in your beer?

[Makeyermark]

I was pouring one into my glass the other day. I turned to rinse out the bottle, turned back to find a silver fish floating on the head of my beer

unfortunately the wife saw this also and is now very skeptical about the health standards in my brewing space / garage. Guess it's time to spray for critters.

And no...I didn't drink it.

 

[mosquitocontrol]

How did that... happen?

 

[Makeyermark]

How did that... happen?

I have no idea. I can only assume that one ran up and into one of my bottles while I was filling the others. I now lay the caps on top of the bottles right after filling them. Gonna switch to kegging soon.

I found the head of Alfredo Garcia. The beer turned out pretty good but no way I can duplicate it without another head.

Jimmy Hoffa stuffed in a 1/2 bbl, I swear!

 

[HOOTER]

Dude, me too. How the hell did you get a fish in there? Where were you bottling that a fish could possibly "run" up into the bottle? And what kind of fish was it, that it had the stealth and ability to sneak up you, run up in the side of the bottle, then jump in without you knowing? No, no, there are too many questions left unanswered for this story to be over.

wiki silverfish Parker. It's a bug, not an aquatic critter.

 

[Parker36]

Well this story just got a lot less exciting.

Correct. I should have said silverfish, not silver fish. It's a creepy little bug with pinchers for a tail.

Can't top the head of Alfredo Garcia though. Reminds me of a Simpsons episode when the head of Aldolf Hitler was in a bottle that wizzed by at the duff factory.

 

[Whut]

Just strolling by.

I'm currently fighting some flying gnat for the bottom of the glass. The odds are on me hitting the bottom of the glass first.

I'll take $20 on the gnat. I love to bet on the underdog, they have so much to prove.

Found a guy at the bottom of the glass staring back at me a few times...

So was it an earwig?

or a silverfish?

I once found a fly in a can of Busch Light.

I found a plastic lid to a 1 gal jug of spring water in my trub as I was racking my beer. If that's not exciting enough, I found a pic of the real JFK killer in the bottom of a pitcher of beer.

 

[Yooper]

I found an entire 3 piece airlock in my trub out of the primary.

I can only guess that I was sanitizing all my stuff, and it got lost and left in the bucket with the star-san foam. Since I have about 40 airlocks, I just thought my alzheimers kicked in, and that I didn't have one ready when it came to close up the fermenter. I just grabbed another and sanitized and put it on. I was a little puzzled at finding that airlock inside the primary, though. At first, I wondered, "How did that fall throught that tiny hole?" (I drink, you know, and that seemed to be what happened at first).

 

[beerthirty]

I've got $20 on him drinking the gnat.

That would be cheating.... ah hell, I'm not above that.

 

[mmc1]

I found a Possum in my Still once.... Oh wait you said beer.

 

[shecky]

[Glibbidy]

I found a clothes pin in my wort.

 

[HillbillyDeluxe]

i drank a 30pk and woke the next day to find i had the clap. On more than one occasion imight proudly add.

Judging Dixie Cup one year, we came across a bottle that had a glob of something stuck to the inside of the neck. We hoped (o, did we hope) it was a hop cone. Upon opening the bottle, we were immediately certain it was not a hop cone. I'll leave out the gory details and just say that we did not finish that bottle.
