I woke up this morning with an one-in-6-months bad hangover... to find that I had brewed 2 ales completely maggot in the middle of the night after attending a party. From what memory I have, they should be good, I boiled grain with lots of water for a long time before adding hops. I guess you could say that being drunk made the process simple and relaxed, and made me more patient, and definitely bold with the low alpha hop additions.
I think I will get totally trashbag now and see if my tax is done in the morning.

Owch... it seems I can't remember my primary or secondary education either...

I think that bottling would be too noisy and require too much dexterity to do maggot. I think brewing was more like cooking a giant baked bean and cheese jaffle that took 2 hours.
