I kegged this about 4 weeks ago. after two weeks its was still extreamly cloudy and really orange, so i took the lid of the barrol, inside it seemed to be frothy with brown splodges on it. i added some finings put the lid back on and added a little C02 to re pressurize. anyway i tried again today, it hasnt changed a bit, still bright orange and really really cloudy. it tastes weird, very yeasty and every so slightly sour. shell i scrap it?
if its a infection is there anything you recomend doing to the barrol befor i put another brew in it?
Tom Caxton Yorkshire Bitter Infection?
Re: Tom Caxton Yorkshire Bitter Infection?
if you can post us pics it makes things easier. True signs of an infection can be a layer of white milky fluid on the surface or a visible build up on the surface which is sort of 'geometric' if you know what i mean.
If it is 'off' then the best plan is to ditch it, clean the barrell, then sterilise it using a thin bleach soloution, rinse x lots, then use your normal process (sodium met etc..) and proceed as normal, hopefully you will have killed all the nasties with the bleach.
Hope this helps
