Accidentally Drunk Homebrewing Stories Brew Humor

Share a story of when you accidentally got drunk while home brewing. Today I needed to clean out my serving kegs to prepare for packaging two new beers tomorrow. One keg had several glasses of delicious Schwartzbier left in it, so naturally I filled up multiple glasses to drink while cleaning my kegs and doing house chores. By the time I finished I realized I was accidentally a little drunk when I was fumbling my tooth paste trying to brush my teeth. So here I am chilling on Reddit on a Tuesday night!😂

My first Imperial Stout had fermented further while in it's aging keg. I decided to draw off some beer so the gas volume would increase and the beer could off gas a bit. (My ball lock kegs at the time didn't have pull relief valves)

Having never had an imperial stout before I never realized that two or three glasses is equivalent to about 9 or 10.

I was absolutely legless at 10am.
