Hi everyone!
I hope to get some helpful informations about a potentially infected batch.
I took 2 pictures about it:
Is the batch infected?
I bottled the beer two weeks ago and no gushing or anything else strage.
I really wonder if it's a real infection or I'm just paranoid.
Beer is a American Pale Ale fermented with US-05.
I tasted the beer and what I noticed is not all the bottles are the same.
Some are good, some taste just a tiny bit acid and are more watery. Color is also paler (lighter and not really vivid).
I cleaned all of my equipment and sanitized everything that touched the "cold wort" with Star San.
How is it possible?
Another big question: do I have to change my fermentation bucket or try to clean it and sanitize it with something stronger? I have the feeling that also the previous batch was contaminated since the taste was quite similar as this one.
Fermenting bucket has been used only two times!
Thanks a lot for your help!
