Hi Guys,
Well I was brewing really good beer but...something has gone terribly wrong and my last three batches have been awful! They are really sour. I need some help tracking down the problem. My last three beers fermented normally, no signs or smell of an infection. They tasted fine coming out of the fermentor into the keg. The problem I think is happening in the keg. I PBW and Star San the kegs before racking. I have replaced my auto-siphon and hoses. Is there a chance that my disconnects, CO2 hose , and regulator could be infected? I am going to tear apart the kegs, replace all the gaskets/o-rings, and boil the poppets. Is there anything else I should be looking at doing? Thanks. Al
