Brewing blunders

[alphagolf]

Okay I made the all time bonehead brewing blunder today. Turned my high gravity wit beer into a triple by forgetting to add my orange peel and coriander at the end of the boil. Should turn out to be a great beer anyway but I am super disappointed with myself.

Curios to hear others "brewing blunders" to improve my self esteem.

Throw it in the fermentor, it will be fine. Might even be better aroma adding it after primary fermentation finishes.

Make an orange peel / corriander "tea" add it to the fermenter, no harm no foul. Beer is highly forgiving.

Beer is highly forgiving.

This needs to be said in every "something went wrong" thread!

Thanks guys, never thought of throwing it in afterwards. I will do that!

If tastebuds are more forgiving.

I built a brew sculpture. I had my mash tun a little too close while I was heating water. I melted the entire side of it and half the lid. When I went to grab it, my hand sunk into the plastic. I still use it, but it's a little wavy on one side and has my handprint in it.
