Well, I'm faced with the awful question "to dump or not to dump"...
I suffered a catastrophic e-kettle meltdown last week brewing up a Rye Saison (see this thread for details - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/bizzare-e-kettle-malfunction-meltdown-393802/)
I tasted the beer for the first time today (one week post brew) and it most definitely has a strong burned taste and aroma. The problem is, I suspect this beer would be amazing without the burned taste (or even if it was just less prominent... smoked saison!).
Anyone run into a burned taste situation before? What did you do?
It will break my heart to dump this... but if its garbage I can avoid wasting time bottling and free up a fermenter to brew more ASAP!
