+1 I have only ever added additional yeast after lagering for a few months.

+1. You may not have a tight seal on your bucket, so it seeps out the lid instead of through the airlock.

I'm no electrical expert, but I'm thinking you'd want 10 gauge wire vs. the 12.

In!

I'd also let it ride. Chances are, you'll be okay.

I've had some bitterness when using lime before. I thought it was due to getting some of the white pith while zesting. I added my zest during bottling. Since you added yours during the boil, I would have thought you would taste it earlier than now if you were having the some issue. Sorry I can't...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I left it sit overnight and looked at it this morning. It definitely grew and really smells sour now.

What do you do with it then? I don't want to risk contaminating any of my other plastic equipment by bottling it.

Thanks everyone. Since the plan was to give this away, I don't want to risk bottling it and it turning off flavored. I also can't guarantee it would stay cold to keep the infection at bay. I think I'm better off dumping it and starting new.

Those are good suggestions, andy6026. I don't want to take the risk of messing up any of my other equipment, since I use all plastic. Of course, I get my first infection on the beer that I really need for an event in a few weeks!

Thanks for the info! If I bottle now, will it sour in the bottles? (I guess did I catch it early enough)

Thanks for the info. For a bit more detail, their is a film on top. I went through to get the gravity sample and the film reformed on top. There appears to be little white bits in the sample, but the taste was okay. Although, now I wonder if the tartness is the blueberries or perhaps the infection?

Hi folks, I just opened up my bucket to rack to the bottling bucket and found this. Is it an infection? The taste seems fine, but I don't want to risk anything as the plan was to give this beer away as a favor at our baby shower in a few weeks. It was a centennial blonde that I racked onto...

I used that stuff on some elbows for my gutters. I put 4 coats on (2 were recommended). They still leak. I would stay away from the flex seal spray.

Is every bottle overcarbed? If it's a handful, it could be that your priming sugar isn't mixed in thoroughly.
