Well...here's the only one I think truly quaifies for this thread from my experiences. I was brewing a light hybrid lager on Fat Tuesday this year. Another partial mash of course. Mash went fine,got sparged & onto the boil,where I added the bittering addition. This was 3:50pm. I'd drank two 24oz'rs & most of a fifth of vodka,& passed out. At 5:20pm,I awoke & freaked. finished the brewday anyway. Wondered what was going to come out of pandora's bottle when they're ready?!...
Well,last night was the night my oldest son & I watch Bonanza episodes on youtube. He's multi-handicapped,a rather good artist,& enjoys watching & drawing from the shows. so,I had him go to the fridge & grab me another one of my beers. Instead of the cold dark hybrid lager I was expecting,he brought me a barely cool light hybrid lager I was sure was ruined on Fat Tuesday. Oh well,I am curious. So I poured it. Lots of head,light yellow color,half decent carbonation concidering it was bottled on 4/2,& only maybe an hour in the fridge at that point. Bittering was nice with the light,very slightly sweet malt profile. And some of the spicy hops coming through as well. It just goes to prove...never say never...again.
