Being relatively new to the HB scene when compared to the veterans on this board I am in need of your advice as to the chances of this batch working.
Last night I brewed a Cream Ale from recipes that I gathered from others on this board. To say it was uneventful is an understatement. The following events happened to me while completing this batch.
1. Dropped the 6.5 gallon carboy and shattered to pieces.
2. The drain to my Brew Kettle leaked through out the boiling of the wort.
3. Forgot to turn on the cold water on my counter flow chiller and consequently had had wort in the primary.
4. Put White Labs Yeast in hot wort.
5. Forgot to turn off heat plate while boiling water to sterilize counter flow chiller. Realizing that it wasn't shut off until 3 hours after I turned it on. Luckily there was just a little bit of water left in it.
Now my questions to all the experts is, What are my chances of this wort turning into something remotely drinkable if I add White Labs Burtons Ale Yeast to the cooled wort "Cream Ale" today. My local Home Brew Shop only had Burtons and Nottinghams Brewing Yeast on hand.
I know that the chances of this working when considering all of the screw up are slim and none but I am willing to take a chance anyway.
And yes you may socially ostracize in your responses. And no I wasn't drinking, alot.
