The Gambit

It all started with the Gambit, a simple red ale.

A miscalculation in the recipe lead to an excessive specific density which prevented the yeast from firmenting properly. This made the final result too sweet (none of the bottling sugar was digested) and just plain bizarre.

Emergency measures were taken (all the beer was dumped back into the fermenter and more water and yeast were added. The revised beer was successfully rebottled and happily consumed.
