I shout AT stout!!!

By Captain Beer on Jan 24, 2008 in Rants

Good afternoon, beervolk. Good? GOOD!? What’s so GOOD about it!? My stout… is… is… it’s stuck!!! That’s right I—Captain Beer—have a stuck fermentation! Oh, the humanity!

Did I shock the yeast when I pitched it? The wort seemed cool enough… did bacteria infect my precious fermenter? Oh dammit… dammit.

Anyway, I think I’m going to be OK… I set out to one of the local home brew stores for another dose of yeast, and who did I randomly run into? Why… our very own Sergeant Stout!!! That’s right! The good Sarge happened into the very same brew store where I was buying yeast to save my brau. I take that as a sign, folks. Sgt. Stout shows up when I have a stout in doubt? No doubt, I shout, my bout with stout-doubt will soon run out, if the Sarge brings clout.*

* yes, I do vehemently hate myself right now.

  1. It was rather odd that the two of us happen upon the same homebrew supply store at the same moment.

    Dude what’s up with the Dr. Suess crap?

  2. Damn heat sensitive yeast. I’ve been thinking I need to get myself a wort chiller as my last batch was ruined. My first mistake was to start brewing at 6 pm on a Sunday, then pitching the yeast at who knows what temperature. I had to go to bed man! Well, best wishes to your Stout.

  3. Ah, thank you for your concerns man. My stout is going to be fine! I’m happy to report that the second round of yeast pitching (done nice and sober this time…) went well and that the little guy is fermenting beautifully.

    Finally there is peace again.
