Ever made a dumper and just served it?
nope! my total batch costs are generally between $150 and 300. Way cheaper to dump it then get bad reviews/loose potential customers.
but also i have been doing this for a very long time! this is my 240th batch on this brewhouse alone.
i have dumped 3 batches at this spot. once was honey and voss making harsh mead flavors. Once was that i lost my glycol. Once was when i was first trying working on the spunding valve.

everything is better on tap, assuming the lines are cleaned regularly.
i really enjoyed the doppelbock compared to the overhopped dead guy ale. to be safe, i wont call it a bock in general because my rednecks wont understand what that is.

call it Goat ale
if they drink a few Im sure there will be some head butting
I made a mistake in Germany, I saw people drinking beer so ordered a Bock the waiter was against and he said " sir, this is a coffee house not a beer garden"

I should have amended that.
I have made beers that were not as good as i wanted them. that is one of the reasons that i generally keep a decent stock of fruit/flavors on hand. I pitched blackberry into the tripel that i made because it was a little harsh right out of the tank. i served the first 2 kegs and they were honestly really good. i squirrelled the last 2 kegs away in the corner of my cooler for about 6 months. i am actually going to put those on draft whenever my next line opens up!
I had my boss dryhop the wrong tank one time. on a different tank, he threw my fruit for a sour into a double ipa. which worked out nicely lol. He doesnt really get asked to dryhop anymore....
i like goat ale. maybe Tybee Goat ale

I named my first extract beer "Redneck Blood" because I cut my hand on the thermometer when I had the wort chiller in the kettle.

I heard about that. I also heard a much worse story tonight. Y'all be careful about trying to pack too much shit into a kettle.

boil overs kill brewers every year. I know a female brewer locally who got badly burned a little while back.
I have seen a boil over rainbow out of the top of a the kettle and fall 6 feet away from the kettle...it is not to be fucked with. on the big system, i would not let people up onto the brewhouse while i was boiling. Also kept our water hose at hand. Estops are a must on big gear. I was shocked that the little spiedel brewhouse came with a controller mounted at knee height and no e stop to be found.
