While brewing today, I got to thinking, what if every RDWHAH mistake was done on the same batch? So, in the interest of science (and beer), I propose the RDWHAH experiment.

I will be intentionally make as many 'mistakes' brewing as possible, to include:
No sanitization of ANY brewing equipment.
No airlock or yeast the first 24 hours
No boil of the wort (hops will be boiled separately in plain water)
Mash at 165
LONG primary sit
Primary kept in room with no temp control (no heat, no AC)
Start syphon by mouth
Drop a cheese curl in the primary

And, of course, RDWHAH every mistake

I'm looking for other ideas of what i could do wrong for this as well.

Recipe:
10 lbs 2 row
1 oz chinook
salvaged yeast from last batch (nottingham)

I vote for mashing at 165 degrees.

I vote you send those ingredients my way and I'll make a good beer instead of wasting them on something that you know won't turn out good.

In keeping with your experiment though...
1. Leave it in primary for 2 months, or a few days...
2. Don't cool the wort down.

Please do a mini batch... just in case... shame to see wasted beer if it all goes horribly wrong. That being said, beer dates pretty much to the dawn of agriculture, so, at the risk of sounding like a geico commercial, a caveman should be able to do it, and at least make beer.

#2 is incompatible to forgeting the yeast for a day or two. I've pitched yeast early more than once though and never had an issue.

The other suggestions have been added though

Leave your fermenter out in the garage, no temp control at all...

No garage, but have a room with no heat/AC. It will go in there

Throw the hops in the mash and don't boil them at all separately.

well i can see where this may actually be a pretty decent brew as brewing was done and nearly perfected before ANY of the forementioned were even possible to control

This won't work. You need to swear convincingly at every turn.
