Hi fellow brewers,
See attached photo, I'm wondering if this an infection?
The brew is a Brewers Selection (St Peter's Brewery) Summer Ale Fresh Wort from these guys http://www.ndbrewing.com.au/index.php?page=brewers-selection-kits
Apart from the fresh wort I added 200g of Dextrose to bring up the ABV a little and also 7Litre of water (2Litres more than instructions).
Photo was taken after a 16day rack and 12 day brew. The lid on the fermenter was opened for the first time just before I was about to bottle. I saw the white stuff and thought Id ask some advise from experts (you) prior to considering bottling.
All parts were sterilized with Iodophor after the last brew (for storage) and then again prior to brewing. Cool boiled water was used in a sterilized air lock.
I'm by no means a brewing expert but this is my 15th brew over a year or so, and every brew I routinely clean/sterilize all components not to mention all surfaces in my work environment (taps, sink, bench top etc).
Ive never seen this white stuff before .
Oh temperature of brew over brewing and racking has been very constant 20-21Deg C apart from Tue 3rd where temps were approx 26DegC (hot Sydney day).
Will this brew be ok to bottle?
