Just had to tip an extract i made down the sink. DOG WAS ONLY F**KING WELL DRINKING IT whilst it was cooling. Yes its my fault i hadnt put the lid on it.
I thought it couldnt get any worse after i killed my yeast starter before that. Only put the yeast in the microwave instead of the sugary liquid. What a div.

Oh well start again tomorrow.

Sorry to laugh at your misfortune . . . . Shoot the dog

I was transferred my beer to corny today . . . Filled the Baby 9, which has had 45g priming sugar in 200ml of water added to it. . . . Filled nicely, Got the first of 4 grown up corni and start filling that, move the second into place and hear something sloshing about . . . Oh yeah I left a couple of litres of peracetic in the big ones to keep them sweet after cleaning them . . . . . SHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! forgot to drain them from the keg I'm just filling . . . 1/3 of a keg down the drain

end up with 3 full corny casks (did ya see whit I did there

) a baby corny that I'm going to bottle from, and about 4L in the 4th corny cask

Its going to be better when fully clear and carbonated . . .but its a nice pint. . . Off to bottle now

Sounds like a brew day everyone fears but inevitably has! Stick it in the recent 'Homebrew disaster' thread in the Tap Room, and brew next weekend

Why didn't you just re-boil it

Years ago I worked grape picking in France. Saw the family dog piss in the tub of graprs. Famer just said vin orderner, Hope the fermentation helped

Most french wine tastes like it has piss in it anyway.

Even if you'd have pitched you could still have re-boiled, you'd just have more yeasty nutrients for the next lot of yeast

Then I'd have printed out a label and named it 'dogspit'.

Quite so - who's to say a similar incident was not behind "Chalky's Bite" ?
