My cousin swore cold brew concentrate never expires, then I drank the proof
My cousin swore cold brew concentrate never expires, and I believed him for exactly one sip. He keeps a glass jar in his Austin fridge that he's been topping off since February, calls it a 'perpetual brew', and poured me a cup last week. I got two sips in before my stomach cramped so hard I had to sit on his kitchen floor. We inspected the jar and there was a full ring of green mold sitting under the lid, he still tried to claim it was a 'scoby situation'. Anyone else got a relative who treats food safety like a suggestion?

I used to be the guy who'd cut the moldy part off a block of cheese and eat the rest, no big deal. Then my roommate left a pot of chili on the stove for like three days and I figured reheating it would kill whatever was in there. I spent the next 24 hours hugging a trash can, and now I toss anything that's been sitting out more than a few hours. That green ring under your cousin's lid is not a scoby, scobys are for kombucha and they don't look like fuzzy mold. Your cousin basically brewed a science fair project and made you the test subject. Next time just sniff it first, your nose knows before your stomach has to find out the hard way.
