Very few people are privy to how many bugs, bug pieces, and other things are actually in the food we consume. In fact, for hops, the FDA actually tells us: Average of more than 2,500 aphids per 10 grams. Source: http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceReg.../SanitationTransportation/ucm056174.htm#CHPTA There's no health hazard, but it's certainly interesting. Browsing the rest of the foods and their issues is pretty neat, too. Check it out. This came from this article originally: http://jezebel.com/you-eat-bugs-every-single-day-so-quit-freaking-out-abou-511630292
bugs are a protein (and vitamins) source, highly hopped brews like DIPAs might have same amount of protein than a protein shake then. *grabs a beer and goes to the gym*
Ladybugs love my brick house. We always find them walking around inside. Fortunately, they also love my hop plants.
can you even begin to imagine the number of bugs that cantillon scrapes off their cooled wort? giant coolship, all windows open, yummy smell, you do the math. Where else does the wild yeast come from? the air? sure, but lets be honest here... it is like pollinating a flower... it comes on the buggies.
She's a brick...house. She's mighty, mighty...lettin' it all hang out Sorry, couldn't help myself when I read that. I'm honestly surprised that people are so weirded out by bugs. I'll eat them...as long as I don't know I'm eating them.
