Hello, today as title says i dumped my first batch and i feel a bit gutted..
The american style ipa extract kit I was doing developed a sour taste after about a week in the fermenter. I went a head and waited another week then bottled it anyway just to see what would happen. Tried one yesterday and it was bloody awful more like a bad white wine then an Ipa. I have a few questions.
1.I was wondering what would do this?
2.What should i do to not experience this again?
3. Should I Bleach clean the fermenter? (cant get the smell out)
I do have a decent sanitation ritual using star san but I did forget to dissinfect the can the extract came in.
The brew fermented at about 64 fahrenheit.
