Accidentally pitched at 435 degrees farenheit!!!!screwed??

[cheezydemon3]

It was really just flash steam at that temp and fried most of my face off, but is my beer ruined???????

I am afraid that my fried face flesh will develop off flavors.

 

[McBrewskie]

That sucks. Hope your face is okay. Can you wait to cool and repitch?

 

[cheezydemon3]

Most of it flew out the window, I am really just concerned about the flavor of my face at this point.

Rub it down with some old yeast cake/trub/crud ring stuff and it should be fine.

I did this and molded it into a face....sort of....

 

[beaksnbeer]

Did it make an improvement over the old face?

Did it make an improvement over the old face?

One would have to argue that the answer to that is a resounding YES.

I believe the "steaming wort facial" is a new offering at the trendiest spas . . .

That is where I got the idea. I just screwed it up horribly and in the suprise explosion of wort steam, I accidentally hydrated my yeast and threw it into the erupting brew pot.

Dammit! I am getting a lot more marriage proposals on facebook, though, so I think the yeast cake nose is rather fetching.

Stick your face in an ice bath for about 20 min while holding your breath. You will feel much better... also you might set a record

noob.

At least 3 weeks at 470 degrees

 

[cheezydemon3]

noob.

At least 3 weeks at 470 degrees

for my face or the yeast?

 

[Thunder_Chicken]

435° Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin or Rankine?

Units matter.

It is a little hard to find, but I managed to dig this up IN THE MOTHER EFFING TITLE.

Granted, I mis-spelled it BADLY. It should read: "RANKINE".....or possibly KELVIN....(whichever burns my face less)

Oh jeez, now I have to READ? My lips are going to get tired. Next you'll want me to actually COMPREHEND.

If it was Rankine, you suffered frost burns and you made a 5 gallon wort-sicle. If Kelvin, your kettle turned into a home autoclave (a rather sticky, smokey one), but your sanitation should be excellent. Nope, no risk of infection in that brew.

It can take up to 365 days for visible signs of fermentation. Report back after that time you NOOB!

 

[forstmeister]

I did that once...

 

[Thunder_Chicken]

Don't worry about the 4.9 gallons of extra headspace. The products of combustion will purge the headspace (and your house) of oxygen, so you are fine (well, YOU aren't, but your beer is) for extended aging (so long as you don't ferment in HDPE, of course!).

 

[Stauffbier]

Relax! Don't worry! Have a valium!

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Since you're already in uncharted waters, I'd rack it onto some whiskey too. A fifth might do ... for starters!

 

[cheezydemon3]

Phew! I am a little delirious from blood loss and face loss, but the one ounce left in the fermenter smells Divine!

I am afraid that the litre of bourbon would be overpowerd in this one ounce of so pure adrenachrome that I am left with, and would be unnoticeable.
