Hello,
Brew day this weekend was for a wheat lager. Upon putting the fermentor into the keezer, the carboy broke and the contents began to spill out into the very unclean keezer.
Deciding I had nothing to lose, my brewing friend and I decided to siphon the beer out of the keezer and into a new fermentor (just 1 gallon). We are expecting this beer to be infected, but hoping it is "interesting".
Funny thing is...after 3 days the beer is bubbling away normally, with no odours or visible sign of infection. Is it possible that this beer could turn out perfectly fine? We tend to over pitch our lagers (i think we put 150ml of budvar yeast slurry into a 2.5 gallon batch), and bacteria wouldn't be as comfortable as lager yeast at 7C?
Just wondering peoples opinion and comments...
