peace, HBT!
so i completed my very first batch (wee heavy) this past Sunday and i have a few concerns.
pics: (not the best pics)
these are pics of the 4th day in secondary.
i checked the FG = 1.019 (OG 1.100) and immediately racked into the bottling bucket.
what sucks about this is, i don't even know where the 'error' came into play.
i brewed this batch at my friends house. he transferred it into the secondary (3 weeks in primary) for me.
im guessing a sanitation issue. the beer however, did not smell or taste bad whatsoever. so i went ahead and bottled it.
so of course upon seeing the white film within the secondary, noobitus kicks in.
i start researching everywhere to figure out what happened.
now i have a small fear that it could possibly be a brett infection. LOL.
whats fueling this fear is:
1) the bottle bomb stories.
2) i used one clear bottle to monitor the beer and i see a slight film forming up top.
3) the fact my beer is carbonated on day 3 in the bottles (room temp @ 75 degrees) and i only used 3/4 cups of dextrose for priming.
while the beer is green, it tastes and smells GREAT!
im wondering should i throw the beer in the fridge to slow down carbonation or just step back and wait a 2-3 weeks????
