What happened to my PWO shake? This is weird!

[WildGuy30]

I pre-made a couple of PWO shakes to take with me on a business trip. The first shake was only sitting for a day, so it was fine. The other was sitting for about 6 days. When I went to drink it, the plasic bottle was bulging and it hissed when I opened it. (like a carbonated beverage). I took a sip and it was not only bitter, but it tasted like it did in fact have some carbonation. HUH????? Does anyone know what happened to it? Obviously you can't let these things sit for too long.

1/4 cup dex (30g), 1/4 cup malto(30g), 40 grams whey

6 days?! Are you joking?

Not trying to be rude, but use some common sense.

Reminds of of my home brewing days, somehow yeast started up in there and was eating all that sugar for those 6 days, yeast + sugar = fermentation ie the bubbles. Let it sit for another month or so and you may have the worst tasting beer around.

You should watch your back as I think you accidently discovered the process for making Pepsi.

I'm not a nutritionist or a chemist. How should I know that some water with a bit of sugar and protein in it would go bad. Malto, dex and whey do no go bad in their containers, so why would I think they would go bad with water added?

Ive got another question-- why premix pwo? THis is my pwo routine- i mix my dex/whey in my shaker bottle and after my workout i mix it with water and drink. Very easy, very convenient.

Im a nutritionist, but it doesnt take one to know that food doesnt last forever...


here goes>

atmospheric yeast reacts to two things that make it do its voodoo> mositure and sugar. Even the wee bit of yeast that accumulates in tap water, air, and yes, even your protein will after 6 days in dark still place produce yeast metabolytes: when yeast eats sugar in the presence of oxygen you get carbondioxide and alchohol, much to joy of beer drinkers and champagne guzzlers the world over.

so... DONT mix them six days in advance...
