Use what I got or spend the damn $6

I got the Hazelnut Porter brew from morebeer and today found some beautiful looking grain in the backyard. The dog got to it and LOVED it! I measured what was still in the bag and it is missing about 1 pound of the 4.75 pounds of steeping grains. The base stuff was not touched, just the specialty grains. Should I re-buy or just use as is?
I am thinking I will just brew it up and give the dog a swift kick, followed by swatting myself for leaving it within reach of him.

I'd brew as is, and call it "Kicked Dog Porter".

Maybe it's fate. Brew it up and see what you get. Maybe you will end up loving it.

or it'll turn out terrible and only the dog will drink it... lol...

 

[Lazarus Long]

I would brew it.

I like the Kicked Dog Porter name too.

How about "Blame the Dog Porter?". I'm certain you've used that excuse before.

If it gets me hammered one night, I can say "Blame the Porter, Dogg"

Similar thing happened to me, I ordered ingredients for a barley wine, I was shorted 3lbs of DME. I used the 1.25lb's I had on hand + what came with the order... well, its not a barley wine, but its pretty flipping good. Still around 7% and I dry-hopped it because, well, it wasn't a barley wine anymore with only a 7% abv. Its really tasty now too, took a sample the yesterday.

Sounds like your barley wine turned into an IPA.

I'd brew it and call it doggie style.

Go for it...it'll still be beer, and it makes for a good story.
