My heffes alaays take long to introduce themselves to the yeast.. Did you mention what yeast you used? Some of the white labs i used took a while then shot off like july 4th at Macy's! You could just wait a week and take a sample reading.. It should be on its way down by then.. +1 on the...

If its a bucket disregard my solution.. If its a carboy then you can give it a try.. I never had the airlock slip out on me..

Probably got some sanitizer slipping things up.. Its happened to me too.. I have a role of medical tape and use it to tape down the bung to the glass... It eventually will stay in.. And the tape doesn't leave any glue behind.. Just drape it over two sides of the bung not touching the air lock...

I havent LMaO like that in a while! Needed that one!

Now thats a Mash tun!.. ;-) and i was happy with my first 10gal SS brew kettle.. Great Idea to use the SS 55 gal drum.. I almost bought one for my smoker... nice setup.

That will work too... Competition.. hmmm.. I wish they did that around here i'd like to do some ribs at a show.. :-)

scored some Shiner "Holiday Cheer" cheap stuff.. great spice to it. starting think the texans do it right. :-)

I'd stand it up right and put a few differnt doors on it.. use the whole thing.. you could make it a two zone (two different temps) smoker.. say your doing a brisket and ribs.. you'd like to do that brisket at a slightly higher temp.. than ribs. I have this issue with my side by side, i get...

river blue

its kegged and sitting at about 38 degrees in the keggerator... I was hoping for it to all go on thursday.. but we had plenty of "grape juice" so the beer is sitting at about 50% consumed... will this really stop the bacteria?... so i have nothing to worry about from here on out?

Cant say i have... had a sour beer. Last night the Fam came over a few beer drinkers hit up my keg and while i was hosting running around I saw my Bro-in-law with a glass of some wicked colored orange beer with a great head on it i thought he brought it himself... then he told me he sampled...

first i'm pretty honored you have chimed in i respect your posts and have read many!... so thanks.. ..now how feasable is it that this "alien" infection doesnt ruin this batch?.. can it actually become a bit sour and taste okay?

Thats good to know.. i always sanitize after I empty a keg and just before I tap a new one... I run some warm water through about a gal or so.. then i run some fresh sanitizer.... I then pour a pint or to fill the line with brew and dump the pint.. then the rest you all know. :cross: cant...

Thats correct the sides of the fermenter coated when i kegged it... so weird.. I'm a little weary as to serve this to my family tomorrow... can it make you sick or is it just a taste thing.. this is my first time infection so NEWB here. on the other hand i find it interesting that some have...

thats pretty much what i did... i'm terrified now.. do i have to worry about infecting my taps? Beer lines?... I recently switched sanatizers and i bet i just didnt wait long enough with the less foaming one I switched to.. I like the the old Starsan... lots of foam... you know your getting it...

eh.. i'm going to sleep on it... i just cant find any pics of anything like it anywhere...

No really any guesses here? Should i risk a good dinner? This stuff tasted fine.. Damn good actually.... Aliens... Nah Science project... Nah Hhmm aliens... Got me thinking... Ive seen pics of infections none look like this... The film was chalkie and disolved to nothing when i touched it...

Its like lacing... I used irish moss at the last 5min of this batch..
