Really annoyed. Just about to tip my 3rd brew in a row down the sink, lost to an infection. I rarely have infections and pretty good with my sanitation (up until now anyway). Each brew I used different fermentors and cooling cube so can rule them out. I sanitise with starsan and havent changed my process for the last couple of years.
Recipes have been simple 2 grain bill with single hop. Yeast have all been dried packet yeast, re-hydrated in a sanitory way.
My question is can starsan go off? I've had this bottle for about 12 months and the cap broke a couple months ago so no longer air tight. Failing that, anyway the grain can carry an infection through mashing and boiling? I wouldn't have thought so, but no idea where the source of this damn infection is coming from.
