After years of brewing, I've got my first fully infected batch. What a buzzkill. Its a 6 gallon batch of ESB I was really excited about. I bottled it two weeks ago and the hydrometer sample at the time tasted excellent. However, I've discovered every bottle has floating particles and a neck ring. I opened a few up, and sure enough they are all gushers. So, it would appear my autosiphon or bottling bucket were the issue. The bucket and siphon hose are in the trash and the siphon is soaking in diluted bleach.
Anyone had similar experience? Really bummed about that one...
