Ive been reading many a post from brewn00bs (myself included) worried about their beer and the fact that they may have ruined it for whatever reason. I then read Revvys post regarding his brewing blunder which turned out great (ironically for his last beer of the batch) and it got me to thinking - how bad can it truly be before all hope is lost?
Oxidation - Drinking wet cardboard is obviously not a pleasurable experience. This appears to be a very common mistake when handling the brew. Can this ultimately be overcome with some 'Extra' aging/mellowing?
Satans Anus - This one is subjective to ones taste (see SCAT) and I would imagine that tasting Satans anus would in turn burn out any inkling of taste buds making your beer paletteable (Okay maybe not) But seriously, Im sure this taste can eventually be overcome. (Maybe?)
Infection - Some strive for an 'infected' brew for different reasons, but the lot of us cry into our beers at the thought of an infection. Ive heard cases of beer being racked to a secondary/tertiary even though is has been attacked by the cousins of the greenie meanies. Will racking/reracking and/or bottling and letting it go eventually make it a drinkable (and possibly) pleasureable beer?
Does time heal all wounds? Or does it just make the beer more forgetful as opposed to fonder?
