The concern I have is botulism. I dont mind pouring out a bad batch but I dont want to get sick or die off one.


Botulism requires an anaerobic environment for the spores to produce the toxins, thats why it is almost always tied to canned foods.

I have let mine sit over night in the fridge to allow it to go down the final few degrees to pitching temp. Two weeks....I'd never wait that long.

Of course, I'm sure some one will chime in and say they wouldn't wait over night.

Charlie Papazian wrote in one of his Zymurgy columns that no known human pathogen can live in beer. You might wish you were dead, but it won't kill you.

Not that I intend to ever test it mind you. . .

I popped of the carboy cap to take a reading on my fermenting brew and I heard the following conversation from two yeasty boys:

YB#1: So we cool?
YB#2: Yeah, we cool. Two things. Don't tell nobody about this. This shit is between me, you, and Mr. Soon-To-Be-Flocculating-To-The-Bottom-Of-The-Carboy-In-Agonizing-Pain Rapist here. It ain't nobody else's business. Two: you leave this wort tonight, right now. And when you're gone, you stay gone, or you be gone. You lost all your Czech Pils privileges. Deal?
YB#1: Deal.
YB#2: Get your ass out of here.

I closed the top and backed away....
