Downtown GR Michigan had an Oktoberfest going on this past weekend. So the wife and I headed down there to have some food and brews.
There was a kind of LHBS there (from a few towns away) and there was a hombrewer making beer. So I talked to him and he said he was making an APA but then I asked what hops and how much he's using (looked like a lot in the pot) He said that they were cascade and there was 4oz in there. Holy crap that's not an APA, more like an IPA that's not balanced. But either way, that's not what made me upset.
He then said that it did not matter because he's not really making beer anyways because he was just going to dump it out. I was like what the hell... He had no way to cool it and did not care that he's dumping 6# of DME and 4oz of hops... I wanted to run home and grab some ice, a bin to put it in and a fermenter so I could save this brew. But the wife would not let me. It was a sad day...
