Rookie Mistake

It was on a dark stormy night...

Well, it was dark anyway and I was in my basement adding dry hops to my IPA. Advance to bottling day two weeks later and alas,there is a hop bag in the bottom of my Baltic Style Porter. Good thing I like hops, but now I am gonna have to run this porter again.



Every rookie mistake is just another good excuse to more beer.

Call it an experimental CDA and move on.

Great attitude

Could have been a worse mistake, you might even end up liking this! Some really great things were made on accident.

One of my favorite past times is more beer [sic] . Love that attitude!

Yep! That's why I posted. I was bottling and I wanted some other guys out there to know that we all screw up. I do a lot of my fermenting in plastic so when I pop the top and there is nothing but krausen on the top it is a good batch to me.

When tasting my F.G. I was pleasantly surprised. It's not bad at all. In fact, after I try the same recipe without error I may make the next dry-hopped on purpose.

At any rate, beer made is beer good.

BTW, O.G. 1.072 , F.G. 1.016...now I just gotta wait a few weeks...
