Drop the bag of hops in the boiling wort....instinctive without thinking quickly use your hands and grab the package out....and burn the shyte out of your fingers. Don't do that.
Brew an award-winning recipe for a doppelbock...do that.
Pay special attention to pitch rate, fermentation temperature, and oxygenation...do that.
Lager for 8 weeks, patiently waiting to sample and avoid oxidation...do that.
Don't filter hop trub. Don't transfer to secondary. Don't use any finings and still expect brilliant beer. DON'T DO THAT!
Forget to rinse a whole batch of infected bottles you popped and poured, let them fill full of fruit flies, and then refill them with a delicious ginger beer you just made.
Just gotta ask, how'd you manage this? I'd think something would have tipped you off
Double post
I should have put
"Drink a quart of whiskey, take two atavan, fly home, bottle beer...... Don't do that"
I bottled three batches that day and had a huge pile of bottles in one small room, when I was filling I was just grabbing from the wrong pile. It blew my mind how this happened considering how thorough I usually am with my bottle inspection.
Unfortunately I believed I was pulling from a pile of bottles that were "thoroughly" inspected.
Ya, beering while drunk tends to not turn out well.I should have put
"Drink a quart of whiskey, ... , bottle beer...... Don't do that"
Dump your erlenmeyer flask filled with sanitizer into the sink and forget to put your keeper magnet on the stir bar and watch it flush into the garbage disposal. Luckily the garbage disposal is steel so I was able to fish it out, but still... Dont do that
LOL, been there, done that. Might I make a suggestion?
don't put a full 5l erlenmeyer flask on a stir plate on top of a dryer if there is any chance you have a wife.

do that.
Was dry hopping my Pineapple IPA yesterday with 3oz Citra/3oz Mosiac and dropped the damn plastic bowl that held the hops into the fermenter.
The bowl was submerged in Starsan for about 20 minutes before weighing the hops out in it. But then I touched it with my (unsanitized) hands, set it on the (unsanitized) scale,then set it on the (unsanitized) floor before attempting to pour the hops into the bucket.
Hopefully there's enough alcohol, hops and a PH low enough to suppress a potential infection. It'll be at cold crash temps in four or five days, so hopefully that'll also help slow the growth of anything unwanted.
Anyways... don't do that.
Decide to no chill because its below freezing out, but forget to take off blankets that help get to boil faster. It was 27 deg. in my garage this morning but my wort is still 110 13 hrs later.
Worry about it... Don't do that.

Yeah it's likely to be just fine.
Use 50g of pink salt in your basic cure. Then after ruining 30 pounds of bacon realize that the "pink salt" you bought is actually straight sodium nitrite (even though the tub says pink salt but the only ingredient is sodium nitrite) that needs to be cut with sodium chloride to 6.25%. That stuff is poisonous. And it tastes bad.
Don't do that. It's a crime to waste bacon.
Oh man. I think that would actually make me cry.
