Wow! Beer is an amazing thing

[Dr_Unkenly]

I was doing a kit brew a few weeks back and I accidentally made too much wort, about 3L worth.

Rather than chuck it, I poured it into a 5l plastic mineral water bottle which I had used for rehydrating the yeast and still had traces of the yeast solution in.

Covered that with cling film and left it in the cupboard, as an experiment.

A few weeks later, the thing had actually fermented and tasted like beer.

So when I racked the main brew I added about 2L from the bottle to the secondary.

Kegging it last night, had a cheeky sample - it tasted great.

Beer is really a wonderful thing.

It is indeed, but never forget the fact that you were very, very lucky to get away with it!

You could have been sprinkling it on your chips instead! :lol: :lol:

That's a big bottle for rehydrating yeast! I use 100ml in a glass...
