Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice. I went to keg a beer today and discovered a foamy film on the top of it. I haven't yet opened the fermentor, but i've attached some photos I took through the lid. I'm concerned that the beer is infected. I took a sample of it and it smells a bit sour and tastes very bitter, (although it has two cans of Coopers Stout in it, so I was expecting the bitterness). It was fairly bitter before, but I now had to spit it out it was so bad. Please can someone take a look at the photos and offer any advice - do I ditch it or not?
On a side note, I dry hopped with a hop bag, as you can see in one of the photos. Could this have caused the infection, (if that's what it is)?
Cheers,
Jon
