I did BM's cream of three crops for my first AG BIAB. I started my mash a bit too high, but all in all it wasn'ta terrible brew day. It was also my first time using washed yeast. I had some washed US-05 from an IPA, that I washed and put in one mason jar. I decanted and dumped all of the yeast in.
About 2 weeks after pitching I went to check on the beer, and it tastes and smells very bad. I don't see any visible signs of infection, but there is very very little krausen along the sides of the bucket. The FG is about 1.005.
I would describe the smell and taste as somewhat sour and corn like sort of. I am curious if this is an infection, bad technique on my first AG, or something possibly to do with the recipe? I have never used corn or rice in my brewing before.
I was planning on racking it to a secondary today, because I need the yeast that it is sitting on, but if its infected I don't want it going in my Better bottle as well.
