Has anyone ever sprayed starsan or some other sanitizer on the whitish layer that usually signals the start of an infection? I wonder if it would work? After looking at some of the infected beer pics, it makes me wonder.

Here's the deal, I've got a carboy with about 2 gallons of a DFH 90 min. clone that has a lacto infection. I wound up with a total of seven gallons( don't ask, it's a long story), so this little bit wound up in a carboy. Do I bottle and go through the pain of bleaching all my bottling gear or...

Here's the deal, I treated myself to a TrueBrew Brown Ale kit. Everything went fine with the kit. After 7 days in the fermenter, I take a gravity reading which was 1.022. Almost no activity in the airlock. The recipe called for a 1.012-15 for FG. So I take another reading the next day and...
