Hi, I'm about 3 years into brewing. After a solid year of knocking out good brews, I was feeling pretty good about my process. Now I've had off flavours in 3 of my last four carboys. It tastes like a wild yeast. The first was an ESB. I was planning on pitching the Whitbread strain, but...

This is my side by side keezer/fermentation chamber. The keezer side holds 4 cornies. I've rigged 2 primaries together so that I can serve at different pressures. The fermentation side fits three carboys and has one switched outlet and one always-on outlet for my stir plate. It's almost...
