So,
I was making a Flanders Red on what was starting as a good brew day when after the 90 min mash i go to remove my bag and it has melted in 2 spots. Grain falls into the beer(not much but still more then i would like) and now i know the whole batch is most likely ruined.
Flame out i throw in some Corn Sugar to help with a gravity bump i know ill need. I also add 5 Lbs of Frozen fruit since the way i look at it, this is either going to be my luckiest mistake or be dumped anyways, might as well try to see if i can screw around with flavors and produce a somewhat drinkable beer.
Then after i transfer to the primary and add the roeselare yeast i see that my brew kettle has a chunk of melted bag on it. I'm not sure if it's drinkable, i might give it a month and try tasting the wort and see if it doesnt taste like melted plastic bag.
Pour one out for a bad brew day
