Been brewing for almost a year and have had more than nine successful brews and then I do this...
Over the past weekend I brewed ten gallons (BIAB) of American Wheat Ale, and after running through the counterflow into the first fermenter, I oxiginated with pure O2 with an unsanitized wand... I realized it when I finished and put it in the sanitizing bucket to work on the second fermenter... Now the wort in that fermenter is lighter in color and smells a little different from it's twin sitting next to it...
So I guess I have my first infection, so my question is what to do about it? Dump it and call it a loss? Odds are very small from everything I've read that this will end well...
