    Beer Smells sour but tastes fine?

    but i am assuming that if it tastes fine drink it? On my other tap i have a major infection that i let sit for 8 months... i Call it fail ale.

    Beer Smells sour but tastes fine?

    I brewed a 3 gal pale ale, maris otter, and crystal, cascade hops... pretty standard. It was brewed approx 18-20 days ago. AS far as i can tell it tastes fine but has a sour smell, it seems like it attracts a few fruit flies to but that maybe from past spills. Is this a infection? does it...

    My beer is clearly infected... but smells delicious

    Alright so its been about five months, there is a think film on the beer and the strong sourness has subsided to the point where it tastes like a boring pale with a rhubarb after taste. So i decided to throw half a sachet of yeast in, any idea what this will do?

    Sticky draught / draft lever

    I have faucet on a draft tower that isn't strongly secured (into several layers of faux wood particle board) So i cant just get a bigger handle to increase leverage. The faucet is not a perlick, it is the one you often see like this...

    My beer is clearly infected... but smells delicious

    So my standard ale kit beer is clearly infected. It smells sour and has grown a film on the surface. However i find the smell delicious! To me it smells like a lambic. Is there any harm in bottling and trying to drink it?

    simple IPA with extract kit help

    Ale yeast, it is hopped already but im sure it will be rather bland, so i thought i might try to do a boil to up the bitterness. Is a half ounce boiled for a 1/2 hour conservative for cascade hops?

    simple IPA with extract kit help

    I have gotten a very simple no name Australian pilsner kit for Xmas, i expect it to be very pale tasteless, but likely extremely drinkable. My Dad likes IPA's and i have 2 ounces of Cascade hopes on hand. I wonder if i can make a simple, moderate IPA by boiling the contents of the can...
