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!😂

I was experimenting with boiling off a some of the post fermented beer once(can’t remember why). Did not realize how quickly you can go from straight sober to completely drunk by breathing in alcohol vapor. Never tried it again.
