Ohhh unless an icing jell packed broke open. Then its ok.

So far i have noticed that you almost never dump out your beer.... BUT i was just woundering how do u know if its a bad brew? what are the only reasons you would dump the beer?

my very first batch, before i found HBT, i brewed a Belgian White. i hadn't bought bottles when i got my HB kit andkept putting it off andputtingit off. i ended up going out of the country on vacation and the beer ended up in primary for 5 months. i figured after a month it wouldn;t be drinkable. never opened it to smell it or taste it.

when i finally dumped it smelled delicious! :cross:

I have 15-18 dollars invested in most of my standard gravity batches, for the money I would rather dump a beer I'm not fond of. As for bottling it up, I only have like 25 bottles that I use for sending comp beers, so to bottle a poor batch would mean spending money on bottles to save a beer I don't like for later.

I have never dumped a batch of my beer. I had one I was going to dump, but my neighbor loved it, so he drank it instead of me dumping, the beer wasnt bad, I just didn't care for the flavor of it. (it was an American wheat) I find I prefer the flavor of a Bavarian hefe more, so why drink a beer I don't like?

I was just wondering if technically it could be done. If I was to get into kegging and wanted to age some beers to free up my keg.

I bottle off the keg to send to comps all the time, I use the Biermuncher bottle filler method myself

I dumped one once. I was chilling the wort with ice pack with some kind of jelly in it and one was broke open. I didn't know tell it was to late. All was well my wife felt bad for me and let me buy some new stuff the next day and start a new batch.

Thats a good idea, but i will put the ice pack in ziplock bag first

I dont know the next day i went out and bought a wort chiller. Best money i spent on brewing equipment.

I dumped two batches this year. One was contaminated and tasted like vinegar. I gave it six weeks in primary to make sure it wasn't just cidery from being green. It just got worse so down the drain it went. I think it was from some old batch of starsan that must have lost it's sanitizing powers. Luckily it was a only simple blonde ale but a sad day nonetheless.

The second batch I really shouldn't have brewed at all. It was an old extract stout kit I found in the pantry. It tasted rancid with an aftertaste of stale.

The my next two batches have produced drinkable beer but the previous errors disrupted my pipeline and so I've had to buy other people's beer.

Never say never. Murphy happens. The best you can do is learn from it and not make the same mistake twice. If it's a little off flavor, it might get better with time. If the beer tastes like crap, it's probably going to continue to taste like crap a month from now, a year from now... Life's too short to drink bad beer.

I dumped 10 gallons over the weekend. It was a bad hefeweizen. I overacidified the mash and then had a weak fermentation. It was terrible, and I needed the keg space.

I've dumped several batches. If I have no hope for the batch and I need the keg/closet space, the beer goes into the yard.

I am in the minority here. If it doesn't taste right, or I'm just tired of it, dumpola. Life's too short.
