I share my homebrew with anyone that will try it, but not that batch, only my closest friends got to try it and only a small amount. It was an american amber ale kit with a few diferent added grains. I will never be able to make that beer again other than knowing the ingredients I used. Rather than toss it out and start fresh, I finished it out, the Og was in the predicted range, and the finished beer was full of flavor, body, a nice thick head that looked like tan whipped cream, and was very drinkable despite the high alcohol content. Well I forgot to close the valve and filled my mash tun to capacity with water/grain. After I add my strike water and am happy with the mash temp, I refill my strike water kettle to heat it for the sparge. The best beer I ever made was a complete and total screw up during the mash process. I seem to come in under temp quite a bit, but about half the times I have, the finished product seemed better when leaving the temp where it was at as opposed to adding water to bring the temp up. I am going to add another burner to my stand and use my extra 30qt kettle for my mash tun so I am able to control my temps and and my volumes better.
