I brewed a belgian blonde ale that fermented out to about 1.012 with sacc. I then added Brett B, (from Orval dregs, Wyeast Brett B, and WY Trappist blend) which took it down to 1.000 pretty quickly. At bottling, the beer tasted great. It was pale in color and had a nice subtle Brett flavor. I primed it with carb tabs and cracked one open three weeks after bottling. The result was very disappointing. The beer was purple colored and completely undrinkable.
Has anyone had this happen before and what do you think happened? I have opened and dumped every bottle and they were all the same. I am guessing that it picked up something from the bottling bucket (Better Bottle with spigot) or from the carb tabs (opened packs kept in a mason jar).
Thanks,
Tom
