Got creative and I suspect I'm paying for it.
I'm working on an oatmeal stout with a hint of orange right now. Unfortunately, I suspect it's ruined. The recipe (which I mostly made up) called for a lb of rolled outs mashed and then added it to a stout kit. Also added a bit of orange peel to the boil for the last 5-10 mins. It's been in the primary for about 2-3 weeks. Took a hydrometer reading and gave it a taste. It is EXTREMELY sour. Is it possible that that is the orange peel, or has my beer just gone bad?
It's pretty much undrinkable. (This is what I get for experimenting).
