Bad news on my 1st homebrew — Its contaminated!!
How do I know? Sour taste!
Continuing from my last post:
Last week Tuesday(10/02/2007) I scrubbed all the bottles out uses a bottle brush and sanitizing solution and placed them onto the racking tree. On Wednesday (10/03/2007) I transferred the brew from the fermentation bucket to the bottling bucket, no problems there except next time I will purchase the automatic siphon!!
Now that I had everything in place it was time to bottle, this is where I noted my ROOKIE mistake. Even though I thoroughly cleaned the bottles the night before, I never resanitized them again before bottling.
So I had the unfortunate job to uncap all the bottles and dump them down the drain and rinse out all the bottles. Cleanliness is key with homebrewing and I missed one crucial step. So I will move onto Homebrew Batch 002 which will be a Red Ale. This time I will recheck all my steps before bottling.
Thanks again Gaylord for the words of encouragement, at least I was able to identify where I made the mistake and will make sure that never happens again.
