So I opened my fermenter... How do I fix this?!

The only thing I see wrong is that it is empty. If that is what you are talking about, then you have a very serious situation that must be fixed quickly.

I think it's infected. Quick - try this trick: fill it with a combination of barley sugar, water, hops and yeast. Cover it loosely and leave it for about a couple of weeks. It should look better at that point.

My condolences.

Thanks for the suggestions... I checked my carboy and I think it spread!

I'm going to try the barley sugar soak with a yeast rinse and see if it helps. Thanks guys!

yea you better do a double barley soak cause you really don't want that to spread any more.

Whew... good to see it isn't epidemic.

Okay, that was pretty funny.
I opened the thread, 3/4 expecting to see someone took a picture of normal krausen or yeast rafts or something perfectly normal.
A COMPLETELY empty bucket was the last thing I expected.

I see more than one problem. The bucket and the carboy need barley sugar water, hops and yeast. But there are not enough of them.

What the ….? If you're going to post disturbing images like this I really think you should give us some sort of warning first.

I'm really concerned about it spreading to the keg. It's always a tragedy when a keg gets such infections.

Haha! Yeah, it was a little dig at our tendency to worry about nothing when we first get into making beer.

If you keep the inside of your kegs coated with a beer wash, it'll be safe.

I too have a case of Nobeeritis. It's a terrible disease but luckily easily cured. God speed brother.
