I brewed an Oktoberfest a few years back for a friend of mine. He came over to "help". I got more distractions then help and I grabbed the hop addition from the freezer, ripped it open, tossed it in the boil. Then I looked at the package and realized I added Cascade hops to a German beer. I panicked at first, but then realized that I just have to shorten the boil to keep the bitterness in check. 6 weeks later at his party and no one was the wiser that the bittering addition was Cascade and not Hersbrucker, plus I got a bunch of compliments for the beer. Lesson learned, never panic. Everything is gonna be totally fine.
This is going to sound very anti-social but I have learned my lesson on having people over for a brew session and that includes my wife. Too many questions and too many distractions equals a not so ideal brew day!!
Glad the Fest beer was a hit!
