Im maybe 25 batches in and I seem to have gotten my first infection. It appears as a browny film over the beer - even looks powdery in places, almost like somebody caked saw dust on it. It has a bit of a sour smell. I left it in the primary for 6 weeks while I was away for work. I came back and opened the lid to do some dry hopping - this is what i found. Ive heard of many brewers bottling it anyways, but I don't really want to risk infecting my autosiphon and bottling bucket. It just doesn't seem worth it. Should I ditch the bucket or just clean it with bleach?
