Aaaargh...possible disaster

Poor yeast management will do far more harm than a bit of sawdust (or blood or spit or pigeon shit)

or commensal flora from your ballsack:

Thanks guys, you've put my mind at ease. Might try the spit, blood or pidgeon shit next time...will probably try to avoid pubes though. :lol:

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong with my brews ! Perhaps I'll start dribbling in my brew and for extra flavour drop in a "gooby".......

 

[hellbent]

maybe drop a hankie in..........

Undies??

Shit, why not just do your washing in there. :lol:

Blood? Whats wrong with that? Black Pudding, anyone?

As for Chicha, Dog Fish head Brewery brewed a single batch once. The video is hilarious. They tested the saliva of the staff for levels of alpha amylase then got them all to chew on corn kernals and spit them out into buckets as they worked and then dumped it all into the mash tun and brewed.
