last time I kegged this same brew it took about a month for it to truely taste good I didntnt like it at first it had some off flavors I will keep this in mind with this batch as I am sure with the infection may be a little funky at first... I will be patient thoughh and hope for the best...
i will check for scratches
thanks! i just kegged the infected beer just from overnight i could see the surface started to get a hazy white glaze over it (the start of what it was in the picture I guess) I carefully racked it into my keg trying not to disturb any of it, we'll see I guess.
so the bucket is no good anymore now that it got infected? **** come to think of it I racked my stout after however that was all rinsed and cleaned hopefully that one is ok now too... man I may have screwed the pooch on this one! faq!!!!N!!!AAAAA
haha i know right! i guess I have always been good about sanitizing however I did have a few homebrews while making this batch (who knows lol).... No I didnt do anything with it once I sealed the lid I let it sit longer then normal. I usually rack it right after the 3 week mark I waited six on...

cool,
I am a little worried with this one because every other kit I have made has always bubbled like crazy the next morning when I go to check on the action.... Well I just got down to check on it and no bubbles in my airlock... I went back to check on the directions and it said you should see...
