Can any one here offer me an advice or help in this subject?
I have a porter batch that got some contamination, and started molding. At first I thought it was Brit-infected, but in a month time I realized it was not Brit. However, the mold off-flavor is very subtle. I'm planning to flash pasteurize the beer and doze it sour bugs.
My plan to flash pasteurize is to heat my HLT to ~180F, pump the beer through my HRMS slowly to reach 165-170F, keg it in a clean keg and introduce lactose, sour bugs, and maybe Raspberries.
My question(s) are:
1- Is my way of flash pasteurization good, would it work?
2- Does my plan, in general, sound good?
FYI, this is a standard ported ~4% Alc, 30 IBU. Yes I know 30 IBU is tough for lactobacillus and bugs. but...
Cheers
