It has been brought to my attention by more than one reader of this blog that in the image posted with my previous entry there is an unfortunate juxtaposition of the beer brewing equipment with some toilet plungers… which are visible in the background.
The implication is that this might result in some…… uh… crappy beer.
But one must remember that this brewing is happening in our new house, in which the floors are not coming up and the toilets do flush, so those maintenance tools remain unused. They are probably cleaner than the step stool sitting next to the carboy since that item is walked upon nearly daily and picks up whatever cruft happens to be stuck to the bottoms of one’s shoes. Hence any problem with contamination of the beer is avoided and we do not need to make a stink about it.
Hmmmm. Maybe I should move that step stool somewhere else.
