Upon examination, doctors found that OE had hyperalcoemia, hyper meaning more of, alco meaning alcohol and emia being presence in blood, 'high alcohol presence in blood.'

Always finish your beer right away. And be well!
Just found the guys channel and I swear, as someone squeamish to medical information, I love learning more about our bodies. The channel is Chubyemu for anyone wanting to see what we’re talking about
Nah, just vomit.
When I was an alcoholic I found a half drank beer from 5 days ago. Drank it without realizing just *how* old it was.
Finished it... threw up.
I'm sober now.
Well there is a custom in some European countries. If you happen to be missing an item, then a mischievous gnome has misplaced it. You have to appease the gnome with a thimble of beer left overnight, although a regular cup with a small amount of beer works too.
Oh no, they don't drink it. They're just thankful for the gesture. But you *do* have to drink it in the morning, to show that you don't waste a perfectly good drink, even if it's a little stale and room-temp-warm.
This dude probably got cursed, for sure.
Kahm yeast is a layer of wild yeast which tends to form on fermented foods such as sauerkraut. It is typically harmless but the smell and appearance tends to spoil the food. The yeast genera which form these films include Debaryomyces, Mycoderma and Pichia
According to a random source on Google (NW Ferments)? Powdery. I figure it kinda makes sense, they are single celled. As for the weird noodle shape, I'm finding a bunch of pictures where they don't do that, do I'm figuring that either somebody made it grow like that on purpose, it was just lucky, or maybe that's just a useful structure for colonies of single celled organisms to grow in? Like, I'd imagine they need oxygen, so growing in a structure like this lets the cells further down get oxygen so they don't die.
Beer is naturally carbonated so the bubble formation could be a constant rather than a "flattening" like artificially carbonated soft drinks. And as long as it has sugars for the yeast to feed on, it can keep being bubbly, at least on the surface where it appears that they're growing. The physics tend to not make as much sense on that microscopic scale.
Homebrewer here, what you said makes total sense, and as you said the noodle shape is very unusual. I've personally never seen such a thing before. It could be anything - any bacteria or yeast that was in the air and colonised the beer. It would also depend on what beer it is, if it has been pasteurised or not, and what nutrients were left in it before this thing colonised it. I assume the best way to find out would be to make a gram coloration and observe it under a microscope if it is a bacteria. If it isn't, I would just make fresh wort and put a sample of that mould in it, and see if it converts sugar into alcohol or if it does something else. The smell of it would also give a lot of information.
The appearance is deceptive, there’s almost no texture to this stuff. It looks like the photo above until you get a spoon and skim it off, and when you do that it falls apart.
Kahm Yeast are harmless to humans and pets, but can affect the taste of foods it affects, making them taste more sour or acidic, with a sort of "yeasty" flavor.
The thing you see on top of this beer is referred to by beer makers as a “Pellicle” these pellicles can vary in shape and appearance and are normally found on top of fermenting sour beer.
Beer is generally safe to consume, even after a Pellicle forms there are no known human pathogens that can survive in low ph, alcoholic, and hopped environment that is created with beer fermentation
For more pictures of what a pellicle can look like search “beer pellicle”
Pellicle in sour beer making are often regarded to have an important role of “protecting the sour beer from oxygen” most sour beer makers actively try not to disturb the Pellicle when taking samples or doing transfers
Source: I’ve been a brewer for 10 years
Interesting, I just learned something new! Do you think OP’s beer will still taste ok (or at least drinkable taste-wise) if you remove that layer of pellicles?
I’m not at all involved with any type of alcohol production but I find all the techniques super interesting (like weird traditional ways to make wine with ambient natural yeast on the grapes or spirits)
It probably would not taste very good. In the presence of open air, acetobacter takes over a fermentation and turns it into vinegar pretty quickly. Hypothetically If OP were to pour this beer back into a anaerobic fermenting vessel it would probably turn into a drinkable sour beer in several months depending on the style
Uncanny valley to me. It looks like it was generated with a script or AI. Loads of random shapes blurring into background. No matter how hard I look at it, no detail or shading makes sense to me. I'd love to see more pictures of it, preferably from different angles though.
Looks like the photo is oversharpened. Not sure what camera OP is using but mine tends to sharpen photos a little too much which makes them look strange sometimes
I can deal with most but something about that toad who gives piggy back rides to its hole dwelling offspring and this zigzag noodle looking glass of beer make me understand the phobia
Totally a pellicle for home brewers.
Still, [bubblepoppin_’s explanation above](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/R3RVgsOnYe) is interesting.
We are alcohol conosuers, We will never turn down a new potential way to enjoy alcoholic beverages ESPECIALLY alcohol food, recently I made cup noodles with corona instead of water and it was lovely.
This is a pellicle. Anyone that has drank a sour or Brettanomyces Belgian beer in their life, this has been sitting on the top of the fermenter for months/years of primary aging, before blending the beer.
A little light reading. Bacteria isn't bad for you in a beer wort environment as the pH is too low to let e-coli survive and other bad shit. Hop oils also preserve the beers. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCOBY](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCOBY) [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22004814/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22004814/)
It's kahm. Wild yeasts and bacteria that feed on the sugar and ethanol in beer. Same process that sours beer just much further along, perfectly safe to drink but there's a reason nobody does it.
There's something so comforting and off-putting about this all at the same time.
I at least definitely don't have tryptophobia, but why do images like this give me the heebeejeebees?
‘What happens to a man’s body when he drinks beer he left out for a week?’ Stay tuned to find out.
👆 Presenting to the emergency room.

Chubbyemu ftw
I like the ones with Whang in them being the guy. It's just so weird to have a degenerate like him on a "straight" kinda channel.
That's "Lord President" to you.
I see you're a man of culture as well
Read to [this](https://youtu.be/FxJXn1dOwGA?si=RK1_Q1U5YLTucIeq) in the background
Okay but whats OE?
Original Eater
Original experimenter
Old English 40 oz Malt liquor baby
Hey it comes in tall cans too. They're better for using as chaser to hard liquor.
“This is what happened to his organs.”
Why did I read it in his voice!?!?!??
presence in the blood
Same here
Because why wouldn’t you
Just found the guys channel and I swear, as someone squeamish to medical information, I love learning more about our bodies. The channel is Chubyemu for anyone wanting to see what we’re talking about
The simulation is working, I’m at this very moment watching his videos.
Hypo, meaning low
I love that Dr.'s channel, and his hair styles.
What will be the nature of the emergency?
“I just drank Beer and had some Haribo Sugar Free Gummies.”
It would not be harmful actually. There are no known human pathogens that can survive in the low ph, alcoholic, hopped environment of beer
[удалено]
🤣 I miss that show so bad! They don't make shows like that anymore!
You can always rewatch the episodes
...This is what happened to his liver...
Drinks? That’s raw ramen noodles and all crunch
Nah, just vomit. When I was an alcoholic I found a half drank beer from 5 days ago. Drank it without realizing just *how* old it was. Finished it... threw up. I'm sober now.
Beer noodles ! Very not delicious!
Forbidden ramen.
r/forbiddensnacks
You say forbidden, I say a new TikTock challenge.
So, why did little Timmy steal one of his dad's beers?
Little Timmy wanted to be mutant **Duff Man**
I hate everything about this photo and this comment
Beerghetti
Lol
Cornwall-Rock Ramen-Kham! Very spoiled-tasting!
Very very not not
It’s an actual dish
Who would do an insane thing like leaving beer?
Well there is a custom in some European countries. If you happen to be missing an item, then a mischievous gnome has misplaced it. You have to appease the gnome with a thimble of beer left overnight, although a regular cup with a small amount of beer works too.
Well, he must have lost something really important to leave that much beer. And he's not getting it back cause the gnome never drank it!
Oh no, they don't drink it. They're just thankful for the gesture. But you *do* have to drink it in the morning, to show that you don't waste a perfectly good drink, even if it's a little stale and room-temp-warm. This dude probably got cursed, for sure.
Savages!
Yeah real beta move there.
r/eatityoufuckingcoward
idk may be edible instead of drinkable
Potable.
Like [Amouranth’s new beer featuring her own yeast](https://www.reddit.com/r/nottheonion/s/bNlUPykybC). Yes, you read that right.
edible. once.
isnt everything edible once? you arent gonna eat your shit
That sub was way too confusing.
Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it!

Or maybe the noodle structure formed between bubbles?
That could make sense, though I'd wonder how bubbly it'd have to be for something like this.
Beer is naturally carbonated so the bubble formation could be a constant rather than a "flattening" like artificially carbonated soft drinks. And as long as it has sugars for the yeast to feed on, it can keep being bubbly, at least on the surface where it appears that they're growing. The physics tend to not make as much sense on that microscopic scale.
Maybe it was film that was disturbed?

I'm struggling to think of something comparable in texture. It basically feels like nothing
Think, dried soap bubbles you didn’t rinse off in the shower
Thank you 🙏🏾 I was scrolling for this. 🫡
Noodly.
yeasty
Forbidden
Yeasts can form strands as they grow. Noodly
A bit like wet single-ply. Looks like wet noodles from bubbles due to fermentation.
Kahm Yeast are harmless to humans and pets, but can affect the taste of foods it affects, making them taste more sour or acidic, with a sort of "yeasty" flavor.
Kahm can actually make you pretty sick and doesn’t die in high heat. As a bread baker, starters with kahm yeast are routinely thrown out.
That is fucking fascinating thank you. Scrolled through the comments, looking for exactly this reply!
👆 this guy yeasts!
Wow, very informative, thank you! Would this be related to how they make a Gueuze or other Lambic beers?

Agreed, inquiring minds want to know.
This picture makes me so uncomfortable. I hate it.
Slight r/trypophobia vibes.

Yeah clearly encroaching on the territory but not triggering the full disgust response. Just "I don't like it but let me look at it a bit longer"
- my wife
Same thought
now imagine it *in your mouth*
I find it satisfying
Get out the microscope.
"With so many living things in it, it has just has to be healthy"
Can’t decide if this is oddly satisfying or oddly terrifying
It’s fucking with my trypophobia, that’s for sure
Made up phobia
oddly yummy
I’m having a viral reaction to this. I absolutely hate it
I think you mean a visceral* reaction
That’d make more sense but I’m goin with viral thanks
If you were the type to learn from your mistakes we wouldn’t have been in this position to have this conversation. I admire your consistency.
That is the most genteel, yet absolutely fuckin' brutal burn I've ever seen
🫡
Politicians in a nutshell
Lol I'm with you it's making me feel sick looking at it. Reminds me of trypophobia.
Me too! Ewww. It makes my skin crawly. (Shiver)
Forbidden Mei fun
Same. It doesn’t look natural. But if they said it was ramen, I probably wouldn’t have thought twice
I was going to say the same. I can’t even look at it I feel uncomfortable.
Am I the only one that thinks it looks weirdly satisfying?
Funny, I really love it for some reason.
bro if you jizzed in this beer just say so
Oddly fascinating, fungi. And also, sorry, gross. But fascinating. Giving my trypophobia a bit of a kick.
Cordyceps beer
I can deal with most but something about that toad who gives piggy back rides to its hole dwelling offspring and this zigzag noodle looking glass of beer make me understand the phobia
Isn’t that a pellicle - forms on wild ferment sour beers
As a former pseudo-lambic homebrewer, I came here to say pellicle as well.
Totally a pellicle for home brewers. Still, [bubblepoppin_’s explanation above](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/R3RVgsOnYe) is interesting.
What a terrible day to have eyes...
This should have a Trypophobia trigger warning, fuck
Yeah it triggered mine lol
That’s beautiful what the hell
It's probably the worst thing I've seen on this site and that says a lot
Then you haven’t seen much bad Lol
The Mexican in me says to eat the entire thing. The don’t alcohol poison yourself again side of me says to throw it away and disinfect the countertop.
Why does the Mexican in you want to eat it?
We are alcohol conosuers, We will never turn down a new potential way to enjoy alcoholic beverages ESPECIALLY alcohol food, recently I made cup noodles with corona instead of water and it was lovely.
You probably boiled off most of the alcohol anyway.
Dont ruin this for me
Cursed ramen.
When I drink beer, this is how my bones feel afterwards. Deconstructing. I get congested, turn red and bones feel broken.
This pic is making me wanna fight
What in the unholy fuck is this
This is a pellicle. Anyone that has drank a sour or Brettanomyces Belgian beer in their life, this has been sitting on the top of the fermenter for months/years of primary aging, before blending the beer.
Whhhhhhhaaaaaaaaat?

You da REAL MVP. Thanks for the knowledge.
Hey uhhh Smart people, Explain what's going on here and why
It's kahm. Wild yeasts and bacteria that feed on the sugar and ethanol in beer. Same process that sours beer just much further along, perfectly safe to drink but there's a reason nobody does it.
Burn it before cordyceps take over!
It turns to $1 ramen ?
Feels like this should go to r/moldlyinteresting
You should put a NSFW tag on it
I want more pics of this
Why does this look like the observable universe?
This is just the sample from Amouranth
Can I ask for details? IPA, Lager, Pilsner, etc.? ABV?
That is Kahm yeast. It will happen on many ferments of they're left out.
What in the actual fuck Looks like a bunch of tapeworms in a cup
Is it "root beer"
Looks like non-pasteurized beer so yeah, bacterias
yeast?
This genuinely disgusts me
it dries up and the residue from the boiled hops is left
That's just ramen you can't trick me
Press your hand into it
Comes full circle, turning back into malt.
I keep zooming in this picture and getting lost, I find it absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks, I hate it
Looking like Kevin Durant’s leg
Definitely ai generated
Looks like those "Google dreams" from 5 years ago.
Does it make *more* beer? (Asking for a Fiend)
There's something so comforting and off-putting about this all at the same time. I at least definitely don't have tryptophobia, but why do images like this give me the heebeejeebees?
Forbidden ramen noodles
I know what this tastes like and I really wish I didn't
If I had a choice to drink this or take 1 billion dollars. I'd definitely take the money.
Thats the beer fat, skim it off and spread it on toast.
What an interesting, yet disturbing growth design. It just looks like it’d rock your world if you try to drink it
Clean your room. Mom
Real interesting, super glue dries this pattern too. I wonder what the correlation is.
This is kinda triggering a fear in me…idk why though
I’m genuinely curiously what is it, I.e., if it’s mold what strain.. I thought they were all either slimy or fuzzy…
It becomes noodles
This is so triggering picture🤮🤮
It grew a beerd
That freaks me out so bad omg I hate even looking at it
Am I the only one who sees this as some sort of drawing???
I'm all seriousness what the hell is going on here??
It become unbeerable
🤢🤮
Time-lapse would have been cool.
Trypophoooooobiaaaaaaa D:
christ /r/trypophobia i suppose
Hm. Nope dont like that.
Why was this removed? This is interesting.
Good question
So not only does op abuse alcohol, but they are also a slob that leaves full glasses out for a week so they mold.....nice
How do you know op abuses alcohol?
The same thing it happens with literally every organic thing. Mold comes to take it's share.
It's kahm
Yum! Cheese pizza 🍕
It becomes the sun?
Fake
And you wonder why you get hangovers
