Hi
Made my second BIB and have just dry hopped it for a week. I didn't stir it and when I opened up the FB to take the hops out I found this. Never happened to me before. I put the hops in a muslin bag that had been sterilised at the same time as the barrel, so I presume that was ok. I do have a tap on the barrel so I wonder if perhaps that wasn't perfectly clean. i've seen on another old thread a dirty tap that may have caused problems.
Interestingly the beer is clear, does not smell or taste bad, but rather has very little taste. Probably not worth keeping or trying to resurrect.
Any suggestions as to what exactly this is gratefully received. Also any suggestions as to how it got in also helpful ,as it is the first time.
Should I just chuck it all out? Probably?
Thanks.
