I love these guys. Glad you got it sorted out. Another thing you can do, is PM Jaybird on here and he'll get back to you so freakin' quick. In my experience when I order from them, I place the order (typically at night), within 24 hours I get an email confirming everything, and then it...

I definitely will. I figure I have enough carboys that letting one sit for 6 months won't hurt anything at all.

I posted a thread a couple of months ago here, but I'm wondering, are there any of the Maui brewers here? Haven't been to one of the Maui Homebrew meetings at all, which should be my first step.

Thanks! I'll report back months down the road and let you know what happens.

It's an IPA, or at least was supposed to be an IPA. My only worry about carrying forward with it being a sour, is the number of hops that went in to it.

Literally nothing that I can think of, other than a ceiling fan going and maybe throwing something in there that shouldn't have gone in. It actually doesn't smell too sour. I'm going to smell it tomorrow and take a sample and see what happens overnight.

That's the part that has me worrying. Not the bubbles. I'm going to let it sit for 2 weeks and see what happens with it. I'll likely post back with some photos, maybe even in a week. If it's going to be safe, I'm going to make a POG sour out of it. Passion fruit, orange slices, and guava...

Thank you. The yeast finished doing its job a couple of weeks ago, then over the last few days, this popped up. Opening it too frequently to smell the beer I think, something may have gotten in there. Or during transfer.

Could this infection develop in to something that's unsafe for consumption? If it's just going to be slightly soured, I'm ok with that.

Yeah, gravity was stable at the time of transferring it to this. I transferred it because I had dry hopped it, and wanted it off of the trub (I know it's not necessary, should have left it).

Should I rack to the bottling bucket now? It's just been sitting in this vessel for 2 weeks until I got to bottling.

I read on another thread where someone posted a similar picture, and people suggested that he either rack it to bottling/another vessel or let it sour for 6 months. Can I rack this to the bottling bucket today and get to drinking it in a week or two?

I should point out that I live in Hawaii, so free shipping is out the door on my end, which I totally understand. You're absolutely right in the fact that I should call and see what the shipping would actually be by speaking to a human being. I've ordered from these guys before on a small...

Does anyone know if they're willing to work on shipping at all? They want to charge $101 to ship 10 lbs of grain.

Where did that lid come from? I like that so much more than the 2 piece that I have. In fact I hate the 2 piece lid.

It appears the customer service is all over the map. That really sucks. I've only had pleasant experiences with them, but I see so many others that do not.

Hands down, my favorite company to order from. I don't order large things from them due to shipping costs, but they're pretty cool in working out what the actual shipping would be to Hawaii...just haven't gone through with it yet. I order 95% of my hops, and all my yeast through these guys and...

It seems like you can't beat the prices on these kettles. Anyone else do some brews with theirs? They don't have that 1:2:1 ratio I like, but that's ok. I want certain features that these guys seem to be willing to provide for less than anyone else. And $20 shipping to Hawaii? Yes please!

That's a pretty sweet setup there. I may do that in our new garage, thanks for the response!

To OP, you sold me on this one. I don't do 10 gallon batches right now, but I know in the next 6 months I'll start going that way. I for some reason didn't realize the thermowell on the SS is weldless...that's a no-go for me. Tri-clamp all the way.
