Making sales and brewing ales.
I racked half of my Belgian Tripel to a sanitized* 5 gallon bucket after fermentation in order to free up a carboy. I decided to go in for a wine-thief pull to taste it before bottling, and this is what I saw:
In over 200 gallons brewed, I've never had an infection. I have no idea how this happened but, needless to say, I'm very disappointed!
The other half was racked to a keg for 50F conditioning prior to putting on tap at my office (whenever the doors open again, that is). No infection in that one.
I don't know how to differentiate infections, bacterias etc... Is it safe to drink/sample?
Thanks.
