let this be an example of what an idiot I am

So this is what happened to a beer of mine, that I fairly obviously didn't clean out properly. It was only one of 40, but still

p.s. sorry for link it isn't a brazen attempt at self promotion (ok, it is) but when I inserted it it was such a huge image it only showed half of it. I'm not very tech savvy, sorry.

Looks like a good lager to me...

Hmmm I'd be seriously surprised if that was caused by bad sanitation - looks mor like an over priming problem? How did you prime them?

[jonnyt]

It could be:

Over priming
Wild yeast infection
Bottling prior to primary fermentation being complete
Bacterial infection

The obvious question is what does it taste like?

I have a Thornbridge Kipling clone that is well wild when the bottle is opened but tastes great which I suspect is a wild yeast

Blimey, would that have popped a glass bottle?

I dumped this bottle, but the rest of the brew is really tasty. Has an excellent head. Really delicious beer. Best I've done I reckon.
