infected batch

[budman8773]

Omg may have to burn the house down to get the smell out. I have a Belgian triple that I think may be infected or maybe it's just my ass. but every time I drink it ( out of keg ) I get the best (worst per my wife) gas. I that a sign of infection it has a metallic/fruity smell and taste to it.

That doesn't sound like an infection. Fruity or metallic flavors come from the yeast. What temperature did you ferment at?

As for the gas, it's a side effect of drinking a beer with yeast still in it. Some people get an angry ass with all of that yeast.

I thought he meant he could smell and tasted his gas.

I used wyeast 1388 @ 75*. The beer has been in the keg and chilled for a couple weeks now looks like all of the yeasties would have been pulled out with the first couple of pints I dumped out. Guess ill give it another try this weekend and see if it has eased up any. Taste wise the fruity flavor dosent really bother me that bad.

Yes, you will get fruit in that temperature range.
