Evidently botulism can be found anywhere... I guess they should have been aware of safe food practices we try to commit to on this forum......

the old saying...Better safe than sorry!  That is nothing to play with.  Gotta check expiration dates even on things from the Grocery.  We want all of our members to stay around for a long time!

They left it open . Was it bad food safety or you can't just make potato beer?

Wow!  You gotta want a drink real bad to go for that pruno stuff!

Gross.

Being a retired corrections officer I've seen some real nasty prison hooch Really have to be hard up for a drink to consume some of the stuff I've seen Surprised you don't hear more stories like that

A fermenting mash is fertile ground for ever thing floating around. That's why you add the yeast culture. If the wrong "bug" gets a head start, the outcome  could be very strange indeed. Definitely, "not good eats".
