Bottling wand dismantled and cleaned - tap soaked in oxy wash and stellarsan but not dismantled. Thought about this, and got some new taps but it's weird that the middle batch with no infection was bottled through the same tap. (Hence my theory about whatever it is requiring prolonged exposure to the beer in the fermenter)As an aside I looked up how to dismantle the taps, do you find they leak after you take them apart at all? The process looks like itt might flatten the plastic lugs that hold the taps together (assuming they are the cheap cylindrical ones)
