Do you force carb your wort?Coodgee said:Must admit i haven't developed a taste for yeast driven beers yet.

Looks like this batch had some mould spores carry over through the boil. Has been 2 months since the batch was cubed and I'm kinda glad I waited this long to ferment to expose the issue. Almost looks like there is white-ish plastic sheets all through the wort. Active bubbles coming up from the bottom also. For perspective I always squeeze as much headspace out of my cubes so there is only a couple of bubbles worth if that, not even the volume of the handle. The photos of the two there have not been opened yet and the seal on the lid was still good.DJ_L3ThAL said:Not an infection in finished beer but some recently stored leftover wort has grown something interesting. These were filled just how I no chill into the cubes but had two passata bottle lids not seal quite right as when they cooled the lid didnt suck in. Obviously demonstrates the importance of a good cube seal and limiting oxygen intake during storage at room temp! The jars which lids sealed and sucked in don't appear to have any of this kind of growth.
Turned out to be fine. I opened it outside expecting an explosion but it was just a small hiss. Tasted quite nice. Super carbonated though.Coodgee said:Forgot about this lager that's been sitting in a hot cupboard for 5 months. Looks like some free drying enzyme has been at work! I'm yet to open it.
Until a year ago when I went to europe I didnt like yeast driven beers either. I then decided to be a bit more open minded and absolutely llve a good belgian or german wheat.Coodgee said:Must admit i haven't developed a taste for yeast driven beers yet.
It sounds like what they call ropey bacteria, or rather ropiness from bacteria. But yes, some molds can survive the boil.DJ_L3ThAL said:Looks like this batch had some mould spores carry over through the boil.

On brew day when transferring from the mash into the kettle, one of my pumps had grown some mould from water sitting in the pump head from the previous brew day, we scooped out the mould we could physically get at and made the decision to push on because it was pre-boil.
This proves that mould spores can and will survive a boil, therefore it is prudent to take care of your equipment even pre-boil.
