Joel’s “Beard of Sanitation”
Anyone who reads this blog semi-regularly (my mom and perhaps a few other people) knows that Joel… isn’t quite right. Fortunately, he is always good for a laugh. We’ve taken to filling our Star-san bucket with a hose with a nozzle on it. Not the best move, since this can result in quite the build-up of sanitized foam. Joel found a GREAT use for all of this excess foam: “Beards of Sanitation”!
They look great, but they also serve a purpose: keeping your face sanitized. In case you accidentally dip it into the wort. As it’s boiling.

Yikes! Does he still have a face? Star San scares me.

Beard of Sanitation? Isn’t that a Pixies song?

Star San is actually much less scary to us than PBW, which we use for cleansing. Since Star San is no rinse we actually don’t even mind a little foam in our equipment. That’s how you know it’s good. PBW, on the other hand, seems like it could skin a cat in a few hours.
And yes, Tony, that IS a Pixies song… Or is that Wave of Sanitation?
