I know there's a few on this site that have been touched by his noodly appendage, or however their saying goes, so I had a chuckle on this one...

That's pretty damn funny

Last night I tipped out the last 8 bottles of a dodgy AG made earlier in the year.

Damn shame, it looked good, it had promise, but I f##ked up bigtime with 1, too low mash temp making it thin as, and 2. wrong hop choices, making it 105ibu's.
Looked like brown water and tasted like it was bittered with lemon/pepper.

Gotta drop by Dave's HBS for some munich for the next brewday.

Did a similar thing last night... Pulled out a bottle with 5 written on it. That'd be my 5th ever . Makes sense I tried to make a Belgian dark at 8.5% so early on with no temp control... First partial I think it was. Brew 6 was AG. Opened it up smelt teh bottle and it nearly burnt my nostrils out. Hot. Had a small sip. Hot. Into the recycling those bottles went.

My beautiful wife (who rarely drinks and has no clue about anything alcoholic) sent me a text today asking if there was any wine at home for cooking. Yes i replied back (without thinking in the middle of doing a hundred different things at work). I came home to a beautiful roast lamb, gravy and all the trimmings meal. Awesome! After that I put the kids to bed. Drank one of dr smurto's beers. happy days....

Later on during conversation the bottle of wine came up... I got it from where all of the "other" bottles are she said. Dread struck me. In vain i asked "Where was that?, in the carton that i got from the wine sale down the road for 3 bucks a bottle the other day?" .... no, she said. It was one of the ones in the top cupboard.. oh ****. Took a look at the bottle and realized that she had used one of my bottles that i had bought from woodstock in the mclaren vale and had been saving for the last 5 years for a special occasion

Oh well at least the gravy tasted nice.... And in case anybody was wondering the 2006 woodstock cab sav is drinking very well at the moment.

Mashed in at 4:30am this morning. Man it's cold! The lawn is white with frost and my Crocs are doing little to insulate my feet from the concrete floor. The things we do......

Think I'm selling tge bike. 2 accidents busting up my left knee in 6 months is a bit much. Just got to work out how to get to/from a train station as I'm not driving to work. Not that I want to have to buy a car either. Oh well.

More worrying is I have 100L of beer on fermentors that desperately need to be gotten off tge yeast and kegged and I can do shit atm.

I bet it tasted great.

We went over to some friends place years ago for dinner. Took over a bottle of wine as you do (something nice from the hunter).
The bloke opened it up and poured a good swig into the cooking. I was gobsmacked - didn't know what to say.
Later on we ran out of wine, of course. His wife suggested the cask on top of the fridge, to which he replied "no that's for cooking!"
FFS... Some people.
We all have "friends" like this.

Crocs are cold-blooded, mate. They aren't gonna keep your feet warm

Man that sucks. We had some D!ckheads get pissed at a party down the street and tear up our front garden at 2am a few weeks ago. Pricks.

I feel for you.

Not to detract from the gravitas of immediately previous threads, but has anyone else had the lucky find of "the shithouse batch that is no good" tasted 4-5 months later and it is very drinkable and then accidentally on a Wednesday afternoon you find yourself a bit bloody tipsy? I have experienced that today. :icon_cheers:

Not tipsy, but the ESB I brewed at vic13's brewday has been shithouse and nearly went on the grass.

Tried some with billygoat on monday, not bad, not bad at all.
