I once used a metal scourer to clean the inside of this vessel. That was dumb, lesson learned. But rescued it by passivating with citric acid. Sweet little trick. Wasnt ready to fork out more money in a new metal fermenter

Awesome thank you. You’ve put to rest my fear. Do you use stainless steel fermenters?

Haha it looks like some parasite. But no thats just the stainless steel coming thru the yeast. Had to double check

Thank you 🙏🏼… it tastes like flat green beer to me tbh. I’m going to let it condition in some bottles and force carbonating some so will see how it is in a few days. Im not overly concerned but was wondering if anyone else had seen something like this before.

This is the top of my fermenter after 14 days in primary. I am worried that the dark spots on the yeast line is evidence of infection? It almost looks like black mould but as this was most likely at the top of the krausen it probably didnt have much contact with the beer. What do you guys think?
