Recently I brewed 2 batches (ales) that became infected after full fermentation took place. A white layer would form over the beer and gave off a cidery aroma and the taste was bad to say the least. So I am fairly certain these were infected batches.
I am very diligent in sanitation and making sure that I clean all equipment that comes in contact with the wort. I am planning to throw away all tubing that I use to siphon and I was wondering if I should toss the auto siphon as well? Apart from trying to be even more diligent on my sanitation, are there other helpful hints to keep this from happening again.
Additional Info:
I use Oxyclean and Starsan.
I ferment in buckets.
Thanks!
