I brewed a Hefe using the witches brew recipe (but added a little extra DME) and added extra hops at 15 min.
We used leaf hops but didn't realize that you needed a hop bag and the siphon kept getting clogged. So we had to drain the wort though a strainer (sanatized as best we could) and into the primary. It was a less than ideal situation.
We brewed it on 8/15/07 (6 days ago) and it is still bubbling every 5-10 seconds and has a good layer of krusen (sp?) on there.
But....the stuff coming out of the airlock smells pretty bad. All of our other brews have smelled like beer within 2 days or so.
Do you think I have an infection and how can I tell?
