contaminated beer...what are its characteristics???? here is the story....I did my first all grain brew last week and so far nothing has worked well for me. My O.G. should have been 1.054 and I had a 1.044....now I just went to get another gravity reading and the beer smelled and tasted horrible. So how do you know if you have a bad batch of beer? Does it look a certain way? How does it smell??? And what about taste? Thanks for the help.. I can't believe this happened..just really frustrated right now. I had all good brews with extract and figured I could pull this off with no issues. I made sure everything that touched the wort after I chilled it was sanitized. AHHHH!! frustrating...
