When you forget about a bad batch for 2 years.

[Jwin]

Ok, so I didn't forget, I just didn't get to throwing it out.
Also, it was my first bucket batch in a few years and I'm pretty sure lacto from grain got in it.
Then pedio.
The my basement biodome collapsed upon itself as it dehydrated/off gassed from 5g of second runnings to a syrup of 2 qts or so.
Notice the syrup on the top of the creature.
Needless to say, this bucket is getting tossed(I assumed the same 2 years ago).
I don't remember exactly what happened but I think the dry yeast I pitched was old, didn't take, pitched more, then smelled it and saw the ice brigade a couple of weeks later.
I know it was one of my second runnings batches which I invest little in anyway.
Thought I would share the photos anyhow.
Should I send it to bootleg?

Ewwwwww.

How's the smell? (Weird the questions we ask on this forum, isn't it)

Amazing!

This looks disgustingly interesting.

You might have an infection there.

RDWHAHB....that beer is fine!

Try carbing and keg hop. Might be able to save it.

Looks like the beginnings of a rudimentary brain forming in the middle there. Give it a little more time and it may become sentient. How many kids can say to their friends, "hey you may have a puppy but my Dad brewed me a pet..."

Maybe donate it to the CDC? You may have the cure to something in there....

Like cottage cheese and acetone.
Very Belgiany. IIRC this was a Belgian pale.

Atlanta is several hours away. Would have to ship it.

USPS Worker: Does this contain alcohol, other dangerous substance, is it flammable or is it alive?
Me:Yes, yes, most likely and most definitely.

I’m thinking that could cure a hangover.

You should have put a disclaimer.....that's really gross.

and not to be a jerk - but this is why so many of us have to convince people that 'yes it's safe, no you won't get sick, no you won't go blind,' etc.

Hey Mikey, try it. You’ll like it.

 

[Smellyglove]

Just sanitize the glass you'll be drinking it from and you're all good!

When hunter kill something it is on their honor eat it.
When brewers ferment something, they gotta drink it.
