So I was working the other day, I'm a delivery driver, and I knew I was going to be near my LHBS, which is not close to where I live, so I called them up and placed an order and asked them to have it ready for me in the afternoon.
I was so pumped. I haven't been able to brew in weeks. When I got there to pick it up, I was running late to get back to my store, so I ran in, exchanged some pleasantries, grabbed my stuff and left.
When I got home that evening, my rabid children were actively trying to destroy my house, so I stowed my supplies and helped my wife banish them to bed.
Yesterday, when I went to assess my ingredients for my brew day tomorrow, I realized that my LHBS did not mark or label any of my stuff.
I have 3 identical tubs of LME, and 3 brown bags of grains with absolutely no identificatation whatsoever.
I'm still a novice at brewing, I'm sure I can figure out which grains are which by smell and looks, but the LME is all the same shade of golden brown.
Most likely I'll just use whatever and my next couple of batches will be fun surprises, at least all the hops are in their own packaging.
I'm not mad at all, just makes brewing more interesting. I was curious if anyone else had something like this happen, and what did you do?
I will definitely brew...something tomorrow, and let you know how it turns out. I'll drink every last drop, regardless, that's the best part.
