Well, Went to bottle an amber ale the other day and opened the fermenter to this. This all happened in the last week as when I took a FG reading it looked fine, and I'm guessing something caused it when taking the reading, despite keeping to my normal sanitation methods. Can anybody from experience identify this type of contamination? Had to dump the batch, it smelled like varnish and tasted really bitter and medicinal, definitely undrinkable.
Thanks,
Graeme
