So my last brew got infected. Don't know with what, just tasted horrible, and my bottles just about erupted after 2 weeks. I chock it up to lack of cleaning, I had to many homebrews that day. Anyways, I brewed another 8 days ago and racked it into secondary 2 days ago to let it sit on orange zest. I know I did it early but fermentation was about finished and most distressingly, I smelled the same thing that I smelled from the last batch of bad beer. I thought I might save it by getting it off the possibly 'infected' cake. Now after 2 days in secondary the smell is getting stronger again. My question is, if I boil the batch for 15-20 min and gently rerack with a new batch of yeast, could I save it?
Thanks for the help, love the HBF. Both these brews are creams ales of sorts. Different suppliers of ingredients for each brew.
And I ferment in a plastic bucket, I figure thats probably my problem so I'm going to buy a new one before next batch.
