Different yeast. Here is a picture of the previous infection. It does look different, larger white bubbles, the one I have now is a lot of small bubbles

I guess I was asking about beer specifically. Have you ever had a keg of beer spoil. Anyway I’m spinning my wheels here. Thanks for the info! If I find the definitive source I will share. Thanks!

Thanks for the thorough answer above. Your reading is dead on, my last batch had a similar thing going on and I kegged it immediately, tasted great. I was hoping to keep this one in carboys but it has a similar infection. Your comment about funky kegs, I never store warm beer in kegs I...

Savage! I have been brewing for 15 years, I have had two brews go bad and I knew what happened both times. This one has me confused. My main question, is this definitely a infection?

I guess I don't follow what you are saying. I should let it ride and drink 10 gallons of gym socks, and throw away glass carboys that can be sanitized.

I used a new hose this time. I soap water and starsan the carboys same way I have for years, honestly I am thinking about just ordering more kegs and storing beer in those in a chest freezer. It still bothers me though, I will pop the lid on the conical and see if its starting in there, I did...

This sounds like terrible advice all the way around lol.

This is the carboy beside it, same batch looks like it’s starting to film

Hey guys. I had this happen on the last batch as well. I would like to store beer in carboys until I need it but this film keeps popping up. The last batch I kegged immediately when I saw the film and the beer was great. I really don’t want to keg this one now but should I before it gets funky?

Local beekeeper in Ohio here. If you need some lmk we just harvested last week

I coincidentally just ordered 4 lbs of pellets yesterday and I was blown away with how cheap they were. I usually buy leaf hops but the pellets fit into bags so much easier and are less messy in my opinion. It just seems like they are cheaper than ever.

Weren’t hops like 16$ a pound 5 years ago or am I miss remembering?

I took a bottle of water out of the fridge this morning so its cold but reading about .5B below 0. I will let it warm up to room temp which is 65 and re check, re calibrate the refractometer for the next brew.

Blew the mash on the BB Milkshake IPA, it was the first brew with my new set up. Basically I do (and my terminology is not on the level of you guys) batch mashing in SS brewtech infusion, I have the capability to HERMS but I haven't the coil and plenty of time for that later. So my strike...

The honey was added to the BB Milkshake IPA. I am a beekeeper with about 40 hives so I always have plenty laying around and often a mead on tap.

Thanks! I guess I should have mentioned that I have been brewing for roughly 15 years, always all grain. I have been using the refractometer almost as long. Hence the original question, I was really thrown off by the attenuation. I have been brewing 10 gallon batches in the garage using...

Yep it is ATC and its in the basement beside the fermentor. The english ale yeast was brand new on the prior brew, I used it to make a Blackberry Milkshake IPA. I dumped it into carboys using the racking arm then I dumped the pale ale into the fermentor and added the safale 05. I play it...

I need to get a hydrometer to double check my work and get my wort correction factor, Ill ask how to do that when I pick one up.
