I know I'm extrapolating this to another level, but I'm amazed (and
disappointed) about "Charly P." saying no pathogens survive in beer. If
this were so, beer would be used to disinfect things like surgical
instruments. I'm not so sure I'd like my obstetrician or brain surgeon
using beer for disinfection. (just hand that beer to ME). If YEAST can
grow in beer, I'm sure there's some nasty bug that can kill you that can
grow in beer. Any microbiologists care to set us straight? ;-> cwp

I am curious as to why contamination in wine can be
deadly whereas not so in beer? Does the acidity have
anything to do with it?

Someone said "sanitation is not as critical with
Mead and Wine" this is not my understanding. Fifteen
years ago Poison Control told me that contamination
in home-made wine was common and sometimes fatal.
Charly P. sez there are no known pathogens that
survive in beer.
