I got a bottle of a homebrew IPA from a buddy that arrived in the box and was a bit warm to the touch.
When I went to drink it, it tasted like vinegar and was just gross.
I also received a Hunahpu( from the makeup batch for this year ) a while ago that arrived rather warm in the box, and when I went to drink it, it tasted like shitty burnt coffee and grossness. I dont know if many other people had tasted the makeup batch and it was shitty, so I am not 100% on the cause of that one.
My question is how much can heat ruin a beer in shipping? Could this have been the cause of the makeup-batch Hunahpu tasting shitty, and my buddies homebrew IPA tasting bad?
And fwiw, he sent the same homebrew to a few other people and they said it tasted absolutely great. So it was only my bottle (so far) that was bad.
Thanks for the help!
