Vibrating Brew Fridge

[Dazza_devil]

G'day Brewers,
I've just put my second brew in, a K&K Muntons Export Stout, and have my fermenter sitting in my brewing fridge. The fridge is located in my laundry next to my washing mashine, the only place I could find to put it. I've just noticed that when my washing mashine goes into spin mode that it vibrates my beer fridge. It's only very slight but nevertheless it's there. I'm wondering what effects this could have on my brew, positive or negative? My first brew seemed OK when I bottled it but time will tell, it's only been in the bottles a week.

cant think of any negative effects. It may have a slight aerating effect on the wort, which is good!

Does SWMBO like it?

I would think it shouldn't be enough to aerate the wort, but might well give the yeast a bit of a stir, which can only help your attenuation.

Peas and corn beat me to it!!

Does SWMBO like it?

SWMBO doesn't know, I think it's for the best. Luckily my bottles aren't vibrating.

The yeast might get scared?

All this talk of vibration is making your yeast h0rny!
