Forgot the Camden!!!

[Ditch]

Can't believe I've just done that!!! I've poured my malt extract (Kit) into five gallons of Highly Chlorinated tap water! Just cleaning up and reached to put the tub of Camden tablets away ~ when it struck me!

So; Although I reflexively popped the FV and slung a half in there, out of desperation, I take it That's It now? Malt's touched that water. Battery acid? Might as well go back out there. Switch the heater off and pour the f*cking lot down the sink? Save myself the bother.

Heyup Ditch!

You've been having some fun this last couple of weeks M8

Does your tap water stink of chlorine? If it doesn't outright reek of it, then chances are it won't be too much of an issue. Depends how refined your palate is i suppose.

Brew Zone; I Can't Believe I just f*cking did that!!! It's old age, mate. Half a life time ago I used to just knock up a brew, chatting and scratching my behind as I went. It was as easy and natural as ..... well ... 'a natural action'. Ended up with a bit of malt extract on ye finger? It'd wash off.

Maybe I knew so much less in those days I simply had less to have a breakdown over - and got lucky?


Max The Man; I suspect, if I offered You a pint of my (to me, perfectly acceptable) Wherry? Ye'd spit it out and then attack me.

Myself? I honestly don't know my " Hoppy " from my " Malty " yet. I do know " Fruity " from " SINK! " though. I seek only a palatable, clear - where required - pint, to prove to my mates that it's not all about liquid Benzadrine.

On your insinuation though, I shall let this one run. I'm out of kits. Out of cash. The Dog nearest me has just farted to show he's eaten something I certainly never gave him!

We'll see.


For the record? <--- Still smiling. Accepting the 'Teething Problems' and Looking Forward; The Faith clutched to my heart. Done it before. Do it again ~ just older so slower ..... and more 'little slips'!

funny thing, I always use filtered water for cooking, but the other day I used tap water to boil some veg. It tasted awful, had to chuck it.
Only thing is, since then I've noticed the same taste in my beer. never used campdon in the water but now wishing I had. I too can see at least one barrel going down the $hitter
damn, why do the most memorable lessons have to be so hard....

Thats a bummer ditch, like the others have said it could still end up quite drinkable.

I always find a wee checklist is handy on a brewday, just tick things off as you go along and you won't end up having any 'senior' moments
