Hi:
I brewed a Blue Moon clone the other night. By the time the wort was chilled I was so hammered https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/images/smilies/buck.gif I dropped the racking cane. Instead of sanitizing it I proceeded to pour the wort from the pot into the carboy without a funnel. Of course I spilled a lot of wort and then I topped the missing volume with water. I saw some airlock activity a few days later but it stopped. Today I tasted a sample and it smells and tastes like watered down bubble gum.
I heard from a coworker you can filter out the excess water by freezing the beer and racking the liquid portion into another fermentor. Is this true? How can I fix my beer?
Thanks!
