Did this to 49 bottles
Had my first infection. Haven't had time to check my notes, it was a Double Chocolate Coffee Stout. Oh well, things happen.

"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Re: Did this to 49 bottles
Sucks man, I feel your pain. Few days back I dumped an infected keg of blackberry whispering wheat.

Re: Did this to 49 bottles
Serious bummer. I'm waiting for my first infection since I re-started brewing. Hope it doesn't hit you again.

I felt your pain with every cap you popped, brother.
Re: Did this to 49 bottles
tragic....yet strangely fascinating. i wouldve opened them in a large bucket like a laundry hamper that was cleaned... and drank the beer foam after it settled. unless there was glass in it of course. curious that the same grain might be the culprit that did in fedora daves. did it at least taste like beer? or was it totally ruined?
Re: Did this to 49 bottles
Luckily every infection I've gotten is just my house Brett C strain, and I like it, so it just makes life interesting.

Re: Did this to 49 bottles
I wondered the same thing. Curious that it's those darker beers that we use the chocolate malt in. The only lighter one of mine that gushed was a batch of South Ferry Steam Beer, but I did use a touch of chocolate malt in it, for color and body.Rebel_B wrote:That is Crazy!

I guess next time I use chocolate malt, I'm going to write down a lot more information about it, just to keep closer track.

Re: Did this to 49 bottles
Hey guys, was it British or Belgian chocolate?
FWIW, I used British in mine (SRM450) , 7 weeks ago.
The one I just pulled from the freezer and drank had a decent head, but did not gush.
In fact, it's been in the bottle for over three weeks now, and I think it's undercarbed!
Also, if you boil it, how can it infect your beer?
That would come in at bottling, wouldn't it?
Things that make you go Hmmmm....
My 2 cents!
Hope you get it figured out!
