Hows it taste yob?

 

[Lodan]

Looks like yeasties to me. Did you disturb the fermenter any time recently?

Edit: is there a film there as well?

 

[bradsbrew]

Looks like what i get sitting on top of an oat laden stout or dark ale.

hard to say for sure for 2 main reasons.

Firstly my sorly abused taste buds just aint the best and secondy Ive never done one of the english bitters before so Ive nothing to guage it against really.. I ran off a half plastic cup and am letting it warm a bit before I make up my mind, smells ok, but I am a white ox smoker so...

the missus is crook too so I cant jam it in her face either.. poor thing.. her taste buds are better than mine h34r:


[edit] Was an English Ale with Windsor, I dont have a great alot of experience with English ales or yeasties.. er quite normal?

Pour some into a clean/sterile glass, cover it with gladdy and a rubber band. If it still looks the same in a few days it should be ok. If it gets white cobwebs send it to TidalPete

Cheers

I find this may be a good reference, have a taste for any of these flavours; http://www.howtobrew.com/section4/chapter21-2.html

I did one just last week and used s-03 yeast.
no idea what I was doing...it was the only yeast I had handy.
I did read afterwards it was used in English ales.

anyway it looked the same with those little bits on top..it seems ok now.
It defintely has a different ..more darker beer taste though.


I drank it flat...it is getting gassed up right now.

Do I dare taste the liquid?

That is scary looking! I really want to know what it is.
Yes, you should taste.

 

[C-MOR]

it looks like a brain. Maybe its not infected, its a collective consciousness of the yeast inside. oooohhh! What have i created?!?

 

[raven19]

That looks scary! Taste results are?

 

[barls]

taste it you pansy.
looks like a pelicle to me depending on which wild yeast, it is could be tasty

was it like that in your fermenter? (that's a glass, right?)

Could have picked something up in the glass during transfer?

Tastes mostly of the base beer. very subtle blue cheese ish.. in the background, a roundness. not aweful, not that interesting or tasty either. Base beer is a munich dunkel, the malt character is not as intense as i remember it at last tasting.
It now looks like this after 24hrs at room temp.
I did not look like this in the fermenter. we'll see what it looks like when it comes out of the cube.

 

[felon]

Yummy.

 

[C-MOR]

looking the two photos, the population explosion is obvious. could be the temp change or the oxygen that got yesterday while i was having a sniff.
I'll update with more photos and tasting notes this time tomorrow.
What are the chances of vomiting or death ensuing?

 

[Tony]

its the same thing as i have had several times.

Its a wild yeast infection. It crops on the top and sometimes puts off a nail pollish remover aroma. It dont taste "bad" but it does tend to mask other flavours and has a kind of earth, solventy taste that lies in the background.

It used to hit my beers when i racked and took it off the protective co2 layer in the primary fermenter.

I suspect thats what has happened to you here.

Tip it!
