Ar*e First batch to go bad
Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2009 8:40 pm
After brewing since may I have had my first bad batch.
To make it worse it was a Brupaks IPA kit (10 gallon double up) rather than my typical AG.
So over £40 down the drain.
I'm guessing the nasties got in via the tap (ball valve), or probably more likely dog hair off her fleece got in while SWMBO was stirring in the spraymalt for me.
I'm guessing I now have to go through a tripley thorough sanitisation before using the FV again.

Hope the next batch turns out well for you...!
