even experienced brewers have a bad day. let me preface this with saying i started with drinking an iipa ( hop czar ), then a bock ( 6.2 % ), then another iipa ( another hop czar ), and that was way before i started brewing. i also have a pool table, and was playing pool with my brother and a couple neighbors. then i hit the taps. 2 or 3 stouts, 2 or 3 lagers, and i'm ready to brew. went for a simple easy extract since i'd done a lot of drinking already. got the water boiling, and added the extract. kept drinking. 45 minutes later, realized i hadn't added any hops. added some more water to account for boiloff, and added the hops, and reset the timer. realized i hadn't added the adjuncts, so i added them with about 20 minutes left, and finished the boil. don't know what the end result will be, but probably not bad

My blonde ale right before kegging
 
Cooper's Canadian Blonde mixed up with a Munton's Beer Kit Enhancer and an extra 200 grams of dextrose. My little brother (younger than me but a lot bigger) did me a big favour recently so I figured I brew him up a batch of this as a small thank you. Him and his buddies seem to enjoy the blonde done up like this.
 
Today (and left to right) I have a Dark Ale, and an IPA with all home grown hops, nearing the end of primary; an ESB and an IIPA just brewed yesterday afternoon and starting to really get going in primary; and an American Wheat and a Blonde that just started cold-crashing this afternoon.

My temperature-controlled facilities are pretty much maxxed out right now. I've done six batches in three weeks to get the pipeline refilled after a long winter, and I'll do another two batches this weekend after kegging the Wheat and Blonde on Friday...

Cheers!
