Hi,
Have an infection problem.
I ditched my old fermenter (was looking bit scabby and was a few years old) and I bought a couple of cheap bunnings fermenters.
I also decided as I'm fermenting in a clean fridge to give the 'glad wrap lid' a go as the Bunnings water cylinders come with a fully enclosed lid.
First brew, all good.
Second brew, infection. Threw the fermenter out and decided I must have done something wrong or not been clean enough,
So brand new fermenter, same beer attempted (extract golden ale with US-05, No dry hopping), same result.
After the first failure I bleached and sanitized my fermenting fridge. I alway's clean it, but I gave it a thorough going over as I thought, using a glad wrap lid somehow it may have been something from inside the fridge.
I pour boiling water and then Star San the tap when I take a reading from it (which was twice only on both brews).
Both seemed to ferment fine, then on day 10 (11 with first brew) I go to take a second reading and it's happened. First samples tasted for hydro reading on day 7 for both brews tasted fine and both were at 1012 (Started at 1046).
Has a real thin sweet twangy cider like taste at the end and no hop flavour.
Suggestions? Ditch the glad wrap lid? Don't use ****** Bunning's fermenters?
Any help appreciated as I'm gutted
