brewed a partial mash last year around July. To be honest I was drunk.
Messed up my hop schedule.
Forgot to add irish moss.
At the time I was cooling the wort by putting in my bathtub, and to keep it from floating I was weighing the pot down with a cast iron lid from my dutch oven.
So I moved my pot into the tub and started filling it up. It takes awhile so I walked away, watched a little tv with my roommate. After remembering the beer I sprinted to the bathroom. The pot was slightly tipped to the side, and was completely submerged by about 4 inches of cold water.
Removed the pot, drained half the tub.
As it was draining I walk in the kitchen and realized I forgot to add the small container of LME(3 lb.) with the other one. Poured it into the pot and stirred. Cooled it in the tub and proceeded as usual.
Also, I forgot to sanitize one of my buckets, and I aerate by pouring the wort back and forth between them. I realized this as I was going through the motions.
5 weeks later, my nut brown disaster was getting rave reviews from all my beer loving friends. Some times its pays off to just relax and don't worry.
However I no longer get drunk when making beer anymore.
