32 Pints down the drain!

[unclepumble]

have just had a cheeky sample from my keg of Bridestone Bitter, before removing to cold storage, & its picked up an infection or oxidised, its gone a bit vinegary and oxidised, am well miffed as it was a good drop.

I was also a bit bothered as I handed some samples, bottled out of the same stuff last week, but I have some wort/yeast saved in a sterilised bottle taken from the same batch and that is still in perfect order.

Therefore I don't think I purged the keg well enough, after filling, but I bloody will do with the next one.


Ah well will need to get another one on this friday to make up for it now!

that's a shame UP, there's nothing worse than seeing a batch disappear down the drain mixed with your tears!

I'm sure its not the last, but will be even more vigilant next time, Just one of the lessons In life's learning curve.

That's only happened to me in hot weather UP when the yeast ran away with itself as too hot...As you say must be the sanitizing ... :cry:

Sorry to hear that UP.

Reminds me I better buy some balsamic and make a few fly traps, shouldn't be as bad as last year as I got rid of my compost heap

Cheap Shoddy workmanship an parts fitting my Sight tube to my 100L FV :evil: I ended up with a slight leak in the insulation which over time developed a lovely mould colony . . . . The Pilsner was the one that suffered eventually. . . . I've subsequently stripped it all down and fitted a sight tube ala Vossy . . . just insulation to put back on and I am sorted and ready to go . . . but of course now I have the conical so may not need the 100L shiny FV in the future :hmm:

Just had to sling a 5 gall of blonde away the other week, the thermo got knocked and got too warm but came back with a 10 gallon version which was a belter, I'm still slightly bitter about it though :|
