Bottled beer is now like a syrup???

[rimski]

The recipe below was my 1st ever attempt at an AG brew everything went relatively well until after being in the bottles for just over 2 weeks I opened one to see what it was like and when poured the beer has the consistancy of a slightly runny syrup.
I used a standard white sugar to prime and carbonate the beer does anyone know what might have happened??

The recipe

220g Amber Malt

Hi rimski

That sounds a bit odd? What are the other characteristics like - taste, smell? Is it carbonated?

 

[Aleman]

Sounds like a 'ropey' infection . . . if it gets really bad it sets like jelly . . It's called ropey cause that's what the beer looks like on pouring

 

[Samarith]

Is that the same as the lactic acid bacterial infection you get in wine?

If so the method for fixing the wine is to aerate like made and drop 2 CT per gallon into the brew before filtering, can't see that working very well for a beer though.

It turns out that it is the ropey infection and it is more than likely the way I syphoned the beer using my mough to draw the beer into the 2nd FV and bottles etc I am going to invest in a tap for my 2nd FV and use a syringe and water for priming the syphon tube.
