Well Ladies and Gentlemen, I am stuck with 10 gallons of Kegged Ordinary Botter, that has been Oxidized. Yes indeedie. Ya see, my Sparging tube is to short. So it hangs only halfway down into my Boil Kettle. Hence, a lot of splashing when I Sparge. I figures, no biggie. HSA will never happen to me:fro: When I tried my Hydrometer samples on Monday and on Weds, I got a definate Cardboard/stale tase and odor from my ordinary bitter. Not kewl.
What kills me about this is that I have been sparging like this for about 20 batches now, and I have never had a problem. I always figured that HSA was a myth because I never got bit by that bogey man. Well, he found my Brewery on that given Brew Day, and he has taught me a lesson. never splash your Wort around when the temp is over 80 degrees.
Looks like Oxidized Ordinary Bitter for a little while for this Brewer.
