i had saved a quart of the neipa yeast slurry and dumped most of it into my latest home grown ipa. Unfortunately, even refrigerated, opening the swing top bottle yield a guiser of yeast and hop particles starting on my chin, washing my face and finally blasting the side of the pourch until I was able to dump in the remaining yeast, hops into the fermenter. Word to the wise,,,,,,, neipa yeast slurry that contains a ton of dry hop sediment is rather explosive, hahahahahhha
Hey Gorm, I’m to lazy and burn to much money into this hobby. I’ve tried re-using/washing yeast and to my experience, it’s a pain in the a**.
But a beard beer has already been done. https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/132/96149/ We need something new and imaginative. Did any of that slurry go up your nose @GormBrewhouse? I don't think anyone has done a booger beer yet. Close, but no nose booger beer: https://www.beeradvocate.com/search/?q=Booger&qt=beer
Nose, eyes , hair shirt rather funny sight when I was washing my face with the I ersion coolers discharge hose. Got more out at night with a good hot shower. @NorCalKid This usually does not happen to me. There is a post on nucleation points in respect to hop sediment in bottled beer, or in this case, bottled yeast. Usually I never save dry hopped beer yeast, but did this time. I am a cheap bastard and continue to save yeast.
Well, I like to stick to the tried and true. I'm all about beard-flavored beer. None of that hazy nose-flavored crap.
I'm sure the nucleation points from the hops were a factor, but the apparently large amount of CO2 had to come from somewhere, like contamination, residual sugars fermenting, and/or even (I suppose) "hop creep."
@VikeMan , could be. Let's hope it ain't infection cause I did use the yeast . Currently the fermenting beer smells good. We will see. It's also possible I bottled the beer a little early, but did not have that effect when drinking it.
