I just bottled a brew today, and wish I had a picture to share, but I wonder if it might have had a minor Brett infection.
The pictures I've seen in the "Post your infections" thread here of Brett show really large bubbles atop the wort. Has anyone ever had bubbles that big that weren't some kind of infection?
Mine only had two of those large bubbles, the other bubbles looking small and normal to me -- so I'm wondering if it was a minor infection.
Of course that wasn't my only trouble bottling today. When I transferred the wort atop my priming sugar in my bottling bucket, I left the bottling bucket spigot open.
Doh! Wort on the floor.
And perhaps an undercarbed brew as I lost some of the priming sugar. I thought, for a very fleeting moment, to add a bit more sugar, but then immediately realized that path had one problem.
How much sugar to add? How much did I lose?
Ah well, so, I just went ahead and bottled-er-up as is. We'll see what it tastes like in a couple/few weeks.
Cheers!
