I did that once with one of mine, but luckily it was drilled for an airlock. I spent a good couple of hours with an electricians fish tape and some fish line to pull it out. Without a hole, I have zero ideas...


@Mase now that is pretty damn sweet!

 

[Craigerrr]

Great ideas, but asked and answered!

When you think a great experiment is dry-hopping in the bottle, and you go to open it and the entire contents of the bottle shoot out on to the ceiling like a cannon.

when you've had two of your finished beers and you're much drunker than anticipated... then you remember you took the gravity reading pre-boil, but not post... so your blonde finishes at 7.5% ABV instead of the anticipated 5%

...in that case "wrong" is relative.

Isn't a 7.5% Blonde really a Dubbel?
