It was really sour initially! I added some honey to it and yet another safale dry yeast. It fermented for a day. Right now It's still in the secondary with absolutely no signs of spores post addition of the yeast. I can't open it to taste until bottling time else I would risk another infection...

If it wasn't for you, I would have never gotten to taste the better half of my incredibly bitter ale. I was so close to pouring the whole thing down the drain, thats when I read this! After secondary and 4 weeks of bottle conditioning it was bitter like hell and no signs of carbonation. 6 more...

So you mean to say its okay not to sanitizer them? Or is it that they come Pre- sanitizer anyway ? I intend to use them in my current brew!

Thanks for the info. I shall do the same. My apologies for barging in on your thread. I was desperate for a solution!

Well this explains why most breweries and pharmaceutical companies stick with brown bottles :)

I bottled only first half and prior to bottling the beer was clear as ever! And the white mold is visible only in clear bottles and not in brown bottles which could also be due to the priming sugar I directly added to the bottles. As for the second half of the batch, since I ran out of...

That's incredible. I was totally oblivious to this. Thanks again! :)

Thank you :)

Thanks for the analysis!:) I shook the bottle, and the white lining collapsed, 3 days later,its gone except for few particles throughout. Apart from the 2 clear bottles, rest are swing-top brown bottles. Interestingly, the brown bottles look fine except for a oil slick on top (this was...

I bottled my "American Dark Ale" a week ago. There are some signs of "white stuff" stuck at the edge where the beer meets the glass as shown in image. When I shake the bottle, the stuff breaks into tiny particles. Is that yeast at the bottom of the bottle? Any idea if the beer is fermenting...

I sanitized everything really well, I guess the only thing that went wrong was to bottle it half way (since I ran out of bottles) and then put the airlock back on. In the process, O2 got in the way and wrecked it! :(

Thank You all for your valuable feedback!!! I am yet to decide what to do with it.

This is what it looks like! Please help me out.

Hi I am brewing a dark ale and I bottled half the carboy(after 4 weeks in secondary) since I ran out of bottles I put the airlock on the carboy with the remaining beer in it. 7 days later I see a white layer form on surface of the beer with few white bubbles The white formation resembles that...

My beer tasted like **** while I racked it to secondary, was very bitter and a bit astringent. I let it sit there for a month and now it tastes way better! So, I wouldn't be worried if I were you. Just wait it out, time heals everything !
