I know, I know...never dump your beer. I just wanted to say that for me, this time...it felt good. I brewed a gluten free stout and it was awful. I have been sitting on it for 8 months and it hadn't even begun to approach something drinkable. Astringent, harsh, just flat out no good.
I haven't dumped a batch in years, and I'll be honest, there were one or two in there that I probably should have. I sit on them and I wait, and every time I go back to open one I have that sliver of hope that always gives way to disappointment. Brewing shouldn't be aggravating. So, I'm just saying...dumping is not always a bad thing.
Peter Bouckaert said it best, “If you want to be good, you're going to have to dump some beer.”
How about it? Are you the type that will gladly free up the space and dump a bad beer or do you sit on it for a year, waiting for it to heal up?
