I had a big brew day yesterday, unfortunately I also had a very absent minded day...I started the day off by bottling a batch, very proud of my work I glanced around only to see my priming sugar sitting on the counter. Swearing myself off while uncapping 48 bottles and recapping I decided that was my one and only big oversight, until later. I also brewed a beautiful looking honey brown, moved it to the fermenter and patted myself on the back for a day well done. As I'm brushing teeth four hours later and wondering why there was no airlock activity on my honey brown, I once again looked up at the counter to see my yeast in the smack pack sitting there....
I thought at least you guys would like a good laugh but it got me wondering what other simple oversights have been done by my fellow homebrewers?!
