Possible infection

[breweringbeaz]

I brewed a dubbel last February and left in the secondary from march to August. After bottling I detected a tartness to the beer. I have bottled 2 other beers since August and numerous beers since feb. Should I be overly worried about equipment bottling bucket, thief, autosiphon/- or just suck it up and buy new equipment? I've read a ton of conflicting posts on cleaning equipment. Also, I'm not totally sure this is an infection. There were no visible signs of infection and was curious about tannins. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

What was your recipe and process? Some Belgian yeasts can throw off tart flavors, especially when stressed out. I'm thinking that if you have an infection, you would have seen it while it sat in secondary that long.
