Dogs

I would have reboiled and pitched

 

Your dogs or feral dogs? I'm guessing the wort was already hopped.

 

Sterile dog drool is still dog drool. OTOH, if you skip the re-boil, enzymes in the saliva might dry out the beer a little.

 

I've seen enough pictures/videos of folks brewing along with their dogs to know that wasn't a dog that was used to the process. A good brewdog offers moral support and companionship during the boil. A poor dog just gets in the way.

Kudos to @GormBrewhouse for training your dog well.

 

You could have called it Dog Slobber Stout or something.

I bottled yesterday and banned the dog and cat from the general area.

 

Living in the suburbs of DC, hard to find a well-heeled dog among the rabble. If only folks would respect leash laws in the parks...
I'm gonna quit before I go off on a tangent about how leash laws are meant to protect your dog when in an urban/suburban environment....

 

Dogs mouths are cleaner then humans IRCC

 

That may be an old wives tale. But even if not...

Which one would you prefer to swap spit with?

 

Maybe the drool will improve head retention.

 

That pitty is looking awfully cute, plus my wife wouldn’t get jealous if I swap spit with the babe on the left.

 

My dog hates brew days because I struggle to work in the long walk. "Gotta get back to the kettle for the 15 minute hop addition."

 

Sounds like you should make some spent grain dog treats! My buddies dogs love them when I see them (not so much nowadays).

 

While, I've never had that happen to me on brew day, I once knocked over a bottle of beer and said "Oh, shee-it", ran to grab some paper towels, came back and said "Hey where'd that puddle of beer go?" and there is one of my Labrador's wagging his tail with a goofy look on his face. I'm thinking, great, I've got an alcoholic dog! Now, the begger won't leave me alone when I drink beer!

 

Did your dog burp afterwards?

Cheers!
