Bad batch
What's the difference between a beginning homebrewer and an experienced homebrewer when it comes to a bad batch?
Paul and Max sample their latest homebrew. Beginners Max: Yuck! This batch of our homebrew tastes just nasty! Max: Guess we can still use it for cooking. Paul: Maybe that works for DMS in a veggie stew. Max: Let's brew it again and then we'll blend the batches. Paul: Now we have twice as much bad beer. Max: Put some fruit in it! Paul: That's like placing air fresheners in an outhouse. Nice idea, but doesn't cut it. An experienced homebrewer samples his latest batch. Experienced brewer Experienced homebrewer: Oh, this has a strong phenolic off-flavor. Experienced homebrewer, dumping the beer down the drain: I should get my books and look up what could cause that and how to prevent it. I could probably brew again this Saturday.
