Kegged Beer Gone Yuck..

[Fents]

So i made a Morgans Amber Ale....

Morgans Amber Ale Can
1kg Light Dry Malt
30g's Hops (cant remember which one)
Yeast pkt that came with kit

Fermented for 2 weeks, took ages to ferment but got there in the end.

I do 45 litre batch's cause i got sick of 22 litres...

So i kegged it all up and now i've drunk my whole first keg and it was BEAUTIFULL...great taste, great head and as clear as any brew i've seen.

BUT

I tapped up my second keg last night, it wasnt fully carbonated yet but needed a taste so thought i'd give it a go.

To my disgust i pulled a pot and it looks terrible. All brown and ****. Cant even see through the other side of the glass. Looks like mud. But the first keg from the same batch was great? what have i done? Keg infection maybe? (i cleaned and sterelized thourghly before starting..) Is it because i havnt fully carbonated? I've now left the gas on overnight to carbonate it anyways as im hoping this will help..

Any advice? I dont really wanna throw out 20 litres of brew.

It's not just that all the yeast had dropped out and came out in the first pint is it?
Did it clear up on the second pour?

^^ Nope wasnt that, i pored roughly 3 - 4 litres into a small bucket. Like mud i tell ya.

Im gonna be gutted if i have to throw it out. And i didnt shake the keg before i tapped it, just moved it from one side of the fridge to the other.

What does it taste like? Was it the first keg you poured into, or the second?
