I remember trying to smoke tea back in my youth as someone said you could get off your **** on it. It did nowt and tasted like a teabag on fire.

Anyone tried brewing with cannabis?

PM me

Joke. Stand down mods.
 
Never thrown anything any. My worst tasting is my honey ale I am drinking now, a coopers Australian ale kit with honey. Nothing wrong with it but compared to my other brews I have in stock it isn't as nice.
 
First ever partial mash when moving up from kit brewing. Boiled it with the lid on for the entire duration to keep swmbo happy. Schoolboy error, was supposed to be a nice IPA, tasted awful. Lesson learned, all subsequent brews have been highly drinkable [emoji106]

Our first and last wit - something possessed me to blend hallertauer and Chinook. It tasted funky, never cleared up and in the end most bottles ended up down the sink.

I was about to order a milestone ipa from biggerjugs (£11.99!) but doubt I will now. not seeing great reviews on them, one guy saying they taste thin which is a bit odd considering theyre meant to be all malt :) have you tried any milestone since?
 
Kits at uni, God knows what we were doing wrong but at one point we had a batch that you could pour a drinkable pint from the 2l pop bottles, then the next was horrible, no rhyme or reason.
 
Several things spring to mind:
1. many years ago me & Mrs Cwrw666 were heavily into country wine making. Turnip wine was the most disgusting thing you can imagine.
2. banana wine - didn't have to empty that one down the sink, as the demijohns self emptied by squirting snotty pulp out of the airlocks and spraying all over the spare bedroom ceiling.
3. Prune wine. Don't ask me why I thought that might be a good idea.
4. When we first moved here twenty-odd years ago I made a beer kit using our `lovely spring water' - as it fermented it turned into a mixture of green snot with strands of seaweed in it. So now I have to boil all the water I brew with.:lol:
 
Tom Caxton real ale kit is the worst I've made.

Tastes similar to, but even worse than John Smiths....

Left it for a year hoping for a miracle but still has a "twang" to it.

When I was about 15 I decided to try and make some wine out of orange juice, sugar and some bakers yeast......

My courgette wine did that to me. I misread the recipe and I added about 3 times as much sugar as I was supposed. I upped the yeast to compensate, but this then decided to 'fizz' and went everywhere. So I have no idea if it was vile or not, because I never got to taste it! It smelled vile, so it most likely was :D
 
A Mexican cevenza by coppers I thought I was getting lager so I brewed it at 27 degrees and a kilo of sugar.

I threw lemon n limes in it just to make it taste better it never did

Brew uk s sitra extract pack which tasted like play dough most of way thru
