Preface: I made two versions of the Dead Ringer IPA (Two Hearted Clone) a week apart. The one I did two weeks ago is in the secondary, and the one I did a week ago is in the primary.
Yesterday I stuck my beer thief (which was clean) into the fermenter without sanitizing it. Bonehead move. I just blanked. It's the secondary fermenter and the beer is dry hopping. Did I ruin it?
I ask because yesterday it tasted hoppy and delicious, but today it tastes bad.
Also, I have the same beer in the primary which is a week behind Three days ago it was hoppy and delicious, now it's sweet and tastes bad.
Frustrated.
How can these be the same?!?!
