I need to do another brew over two evenings soon as well so you could make it for that if I end up ditching this batch :thumb:

I've never done this before but......in theory
People who make wine add a camden tab to kill off any wild yeast from fruit, before ading the wine yeast the next day :hmm:

Wouldn't the camden tablet also affect the proper yeast when you pitch it, assuming one tablet per gallon?
Or would we get rid of this in the boil?

Sorry to hear about Benson Wez :cry:
Shame about the beer too, but that's quite trivial in comparison.

hmmmm :hmm:
well if there's anything lurking in there, it'll get boiled off anyway.
but i'm not sure about how to play it with the "stale" smell.
did you managed to raise your mash over 76'c for your mashout?
if not, then i know its a waste of grain, but if that were me i'd sling it.
mind you, from this point on it's only gunna cost you a few grams of hops and yeast to know if it's good or not. but alot more wasted in grain if you sling it.

Ah Ha!!! :lol:jamesb said:
metabisulphite is an antifermentative, and generally knocks wild yeast down pretty effectively . . . . Brewing yeast tends to be a little more robust, and so just gets on with business
Wez that boiler 'looks' like the amylase enzymes just carried on with business . . . although it could be the beginnings of a lactic infection . . . as others have said its the 'stale' smell that is gining things away . . . . sort of musty?? If it were me I would ditch it as I absolutely hate that flavour . . . . . although a Berliner Stout could be a new style if you let it go for another 24 hours . . . just scrape the islands of green mold off before boiling :sick: :sick: :sick:
Sorry to restart a two year old brewday thread but it seems the right thing to do.
It will be 2 years on 27th November since we lost our best friend 'Benson' our fun loving Springer Spaniel. He fell very ill during this brew and it never got finished as it turned bad before I could boil it.
So, this weekend as a way of marking the anniverasry of his passing I will brew exactly the same recipe as before and naming the stout with something appropriate like "Bensons Oatmeal Stout"
I hope it turns out to be a good one :thumb:
