I got an infection problem in the last 5 batches that I just cant seem to kick or identify. Everything is the same in my process and I have viewed the other infection posts and tried those suggestions (change sanitizers, bleach everything, dry yeast etc.). I really want to know what it is and then KILL it. Here is what it is doing
Starts good and with in 4 hours will start to krausin. Then when the krausin falls it gets these little bubbles on the top. Upon closer inspection there ar little bubbles comming from the bottom that have chunks of yeast/bact. on them. I taste them and depending on the type of beer it either tastes astringent or sulfur like an egg. In the one I left alone in the fermenter it developed a HUGE layer of slimy looking krud on the bottom and it is stratified to where you can see the trub, yeast, and then the funk.
My keggerator needs your help as it is almost empty!
What Is This?
Thanks,
Mal
