Is a ruined batch inevitable?

No, it is not inevitable.
I quote the late, great Ben Franklin "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
Though there is a learning curve so don't be disappointed if mistakes are made as long as a lesson is drawn from them.

I like to party... (tips glass back and enjoys under hopped but very high alcohol beer.)

As long as I remember to put fermentables and yeast into something reasonably clean...I'm drinking it.....that's just how I brew. I enjoy talking about marginal brews more than great brews
