Morning!
Pretty sure I have / have had a wild yeast infection. The beer, whilst drinkable, just got drier and drier, and the carbonation rate went off the scale - despite opening and resealing swing tops several times. Whole batch the same, so was likely in FV or siphon.
subsequent batches are unaffected, but I know from experience now that it takes ages for the wild yeast to ferment out, so might be early days. That said, I take cleaning and sanitation seriously (oxi followed by vwp), so might have gotten rid of it.
There's a lot written about 'infections', but I'd love to hear from anyone who has successfully dealt with a wild yeast infection and how they did it.
Cheers!:thumb:
