I'm kind of newb, and I was just thinking what the sources are of most infections and when they occur.
From what I read, most infections would occur prior to fermentation, is that correct? And once a beer ferments odds are you're in the clear. Now, this makes me think that a source of some infections could be the pitched yeast. Is it possible to get infected yeast from like wyeast or white labs? That seems to make more sense than the random spoon i had lying around that wasn't sanitized.
I want to try to open ferment a hefe...is that just a crazy idea? Or am I stupid for even wants to try that.
