£18 down the sink!
Put my coopers stout on 2 weeks ago, checked on it after 7 days and it tasted great. 1 week later I come to bottle it as it had finished at 1010fg and it had gone sour
I can out it down to 2 possible reasons, the first is I took liberties with my sanitation and by that I mean I used the same solution that I used to clean my bottles with, I just tipped up my builders bucket and poured it in my FV. The second is that I used brewing sugar (300g) that I had left but had come open in my kitchen draw, so anything could have got in.
Anyway, I have decided to go AG and have just ordered my stockpot/s. I'm going to be doing mini-biab with the option to do maxi-biab when I produce a beer I really like. I have enjoyed doing the kits, but after the novelty has worn off, of making my own beer I am becoming more and more critical of the kit beers I am making and to be honest the last couple haven't lived up to their early promise.
So there you go just need to tell the wife now :shock: My line is going to be that AG will be nearly half the price of kits, so by the end of the year we'll easily be in profit :whistle:
