Just feeling frustrated. I'm a cautious guy, but sometimes the dumbest things happen, and instead of thinking through the problem for the best solution, I compound the problem.
Case in point: I kegged an IPA this weekend, burst method. Because I shake the keg, I didn't want to add my dry hops (I leave my hops in the keg until it kicks) and end up with a ton of hop particles coming out and floating around. So I hold the dry hops for a day or two, and add them later.
I went to add my dry hops this morning, and when I released the pressure and and unlocked the lid, the large rubber O-ring stayed stuck to the top of the keg. Naturally it fell off, and into the beer as soon as I removed the lid.
Damn thing should float! But it doesn't!
Instead of sanitizing my racking cane and fishing it out (which would have been the smart thing to do... LFMF), I stuck my arm in my starsan bucket for a minute and reached up to my shoulder in my keg full of beer to get the damn thing.
Stupid.
I'm not going to tell anyone I serve it to.
Anyone else do something stupid lately they wish they would have thought about first?
