Yeah, I have looked thru the threads, but didnt find my answer....
I had a nasty looking film with spores on top of my Wee Heavy in the secondary. I assume it back packed on something not cleaned properly.
I racked the beer out from under the film into a new properly sanitized carboy and added one campden.
After a few days, its back. Added another campden.
It's a 5 gallon batch. How do you know when you have killed it? And if you kill it, dont you kill your yeast too? I dont keg, so how do I carbonate if the yeast is dead?
