I was experimenting with making a "hard" coffee for me girl. I was doing other stuff while brewing the coffee...just Folgers through a Mr. Coffee. Well, one thing turned into another, and some grounds may have gotten into the coffee. I didn't sweat it much. Figured I could just strain it when it was done. Threw in the yeast, it started foaming, everything was great.


The next morning I end up with this mess.


I thought at first it was just overfoaming. Again, no big deal. After 3 days, no bubbling coming through the airlock. Today, day 5, still no bubbling. I pull the cork, stick my finger in the bottle and find the neck crammed full with dry coffee grounds. Down the sink it goes. Back to the drawing board.

I'm just not sure why the grounds got forced up into the neck. Fuckin science.
