Homebrew Report #250966

OOCH!

Did a memorial brew over the weekend and it was one of those brewing sessions that didn't go as planned. Let's call it the Mystery beer.

1) I spilled somewhere between 1-2 ounces of hops on the patio, and the neighbors puppy almost ate some (they are lethal to dogs). I splashed 200 F wort all over my legs (I was wearing shorts). My hop bag was too small and swelled up like a bursting appendix (had to cut it open, makes for a lot of trub in the primary which means wasted beer). Overfilled my brew pot (hence boiled over and I made a mess of my brew pot, and propane burner).

10 gallon RECIPE:

11 pounds light DME
1 pound caramunich
1 pound pale
5 oz chocolate malt

bittering
1 oz Fuggles ?
1 oz Perle
1 oz Mt. Hood ?
1 oz K. Goldings?

flavoring
1 oz Cascade 15 minutes
1 oz Columbia 8 minutes
1 oz Liberty 3 minutes

1098 British Ale from Wyeast Labs

Who knows, it might turn out to be the best beer you've ever had

Should have just called it a day and saved the batch for another day. But I'm interested to see how it turns out. Especially with all those hops! Mmmmm hops! Gotta learn to deal with the trub, maybe it's my imagination but I feel the beer come out better when the hops are allowed to roam free.

It would be a difficult recipe to repeat. A dash of patio dirt, maybe some dog drool, burn leg, boil over, ferment.

You have a point; the singed leg hair might give it a nice rauchbier kinda flavor.

hahah yeah, not too worried about the final product, it will be a fine beer, but difficult to replicate, and a bit nerve wracking to produce.

Luckily no cute little puppies were killed. Maybe call this one 'Dead Dog Ale' after the dead guy ale from rogue's line?
