Dumping Bad Batches....
Just a thought
On many forums, I have noticed now and then folks talking about less than desirable batches that they were considering "dumping."
Most responses to this frequently indicate that a bad batch should never be dumped; and usually advise to just let it age, as long as it takes.
I have also noticed other posts where "flat" beer should be "blended" w/good beer, rather than dumping. And then there are a few posts, here and there, that recommend cooking with beer--e.g., adding to beef stew, chili, etc.
Has anyone ever tried recycling such beer, and admitted it?
Maybe just, little by little, just "dumping" the beer into their future batches/wort vice an equal amount of water?
