In this blog entry, I try to turn a failed brew day into a positive thing.

Even if a beer is bad or you don't like it you can make vinegar out of it
I cover some of the points you make of "when to save", but the point of the article is to try and cover what's a dumper and what's not. I think too many people repeat the "never dump a batch" mantra have never actually tried some of the solutions they're suggesting. For instance, you're not making malt vinegar out of a bad IPA. In fact, I can't think of a single thing I've made with hoppy beers that works well in any cooking application. Malty and yeasty beers work though, so it's an option.Great article, but I think you might have been a bit hasty on the dumping front.

Even if a beer is bad or you don't like it you can make vinegar out of it, cook with it, give it to friends when they're too drunk to care, etc, etc. Some flaws are unfixable but its really amazing what time will do. Also, its nearly impossible to ruin a beer with oxidation. That's something that takes months to show up. If you've messed up somewhere and oxidized your beer too much, then just drink it quickly.
Again, great article, but I'm of the belief that you should only dump beer in the absolute rarest of circumstances.
