A moment of silence please...



Don't let this happen to you. I made a quick and easy batch of birch beer after I moved in order to help fill my pipeline. I thought it would be "cool" and "neat". WELL IS THIS COOL? IS THIS NEAT? IS IT?! DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AWAY, DAMMIT!

Don't make the same mistake I did. I'm going to oxyclean holocaust this keg and I am doing the same for the tap. I replaced the tap line and beer keg fitting. The only things I haven't replaced are the perlick 425ss and the o-ring inside it, but still everything from the tap tastes like birch.

Here is the recipe in case you were wondering https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/american-winter-brown-ale-94385/
8.4%...why, d@mn you, why?!

same thing happened to me with a great pilsner. RUINED by the previous batch in that keg of a Raspberry Braggot..What the hell was I thinking.
 
i dumped a batch this fall that had the bandaid/rubber taste thing going on. i still haven't put anything into that keg.
 
I think I hear taps being played softly in the background. Man that hurts.

On the the plus side- New Year = New Beer!
 
I always rinse my kegs and taste the water coming out of them until it tastes like WATER before putting beer in them. Then sanitize.
 
I dont dump them....I make the mistake batches beer tax. Anyone who comes over must drink one glass prior to tapping into the good beer...Luckily Ive only had two of these in the last two years of brewing...:rockin:
 
For me it was dropping my fermenter this past sunday with 11-gallons of freshly brewed Dale's Pale Ale (clone) on my basement floor while trying to carry it from my backyard to my basement fermentation chiller. My rommmate usually helps me with this step, although I have done it alone before. I will not make this mistake again, I cannot tell you how much work it was to clean up 11 gallons of a pale ale off my laminate wood floor and the other concrete floored rooms it flowed into.
 
Why did you dump it? I see other people posting reasons but not yours?

Maybe I cant read.
 
I have to admit, I took my hat off as it flowed down the drain.
I now oxyclean soak all of my kegs after each one kicks, I also now replace all the o-rings every other batch, it might get spendy, but hey, look what happened to your poor beer. I am also thinking of marking each keg with masking tape so I know what was in em prior to reduce the risk of any cross flavoring from happening, like what happened to Arneba. (almost happened to me with a blonde ale going into a keg that previously held my Smoked RyePA)
 
I know how u feel. I got a keg of the funk sitting in my kitchen for the last 6 months but I just haven't been able to dump it yet. I need to.(or make my cheep ass friends that NEVER bring any beer over, but want to drink my good stuff, drink a glass for tax for the good stuff!!)
 
I had an Imperial Stout ruined and it made its acquaintance with the drain too. Very hard to do after 8 months of aging.
 
I watched it again, its like faces of death, I cant turn away from the finality of it all... I replayed it ..... "oh the humanity"
 
A little part of me died when I to had to deep six a batch of Imperial Stout... My soul will never be the same.... :/
