Had to pour out the brown ale(weep, weep).How many others have been lost?

Why the dumping?

And WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK US AHEAD OF TIME?

I had some LME burn to the bottom of my brewpot once. The beer tasted like an ashtray. Down the drain it went (and that was after I bottled it).

I've had two batches somehow get infected by wild yeast or bacteria. They turned all sour and dry. No fun. I still have the cases, just gonna hold on to them and see what happens (I've got over 10 cases of empties, so I'm not hurting for bottles).

Also have a version of Papazian's Goat Scrotum Porter that got ruined because I followed his directions and added 1/2 btl of spruce extract. Now it's just pine tree in a bottle.

Ah, birdman...you hearken back to the days of yore, when Mr. Belvedere warmed our hearts...

I've only lost one batch to infection and I tried the "hold on to them" trick and even 8 months could not save it. After 8 months they were all gushers and smelled super nasty. Very clear tho. Really, they looked like Bid Light.

I've had many that I wanted to dump, but my Dead Fly Ale is going to be the first one I definitely WILL dump. The rest have improved with age, but this one has a taste like I didn't do a good enough job of rinsing out the corny. It's soapy and unpalatable.

I had one ropy batch that just looked nasty. It wasn't too gross looking until you took a close look at the top of the beer and noticed how it had jelly-like stuff going on. I wasn't going to touch it.
