Hi,
The last few batches of beer have all been horrible. The first batch tasted like liquid bread, the others tasted sour and had no sugar content at all in them but there was no mother on the batches either.
I add K Meta and water to sterilize but I get the feeling that some of my wine yeast is doing this, or maybe some wild yeast in the carnoys. It is very hot and humid where I am.
The last one I stuck in the fridge at 20C in a glass carboy for 1.5 months and it still became sour.
This time I am soaking for a prolonged period in bleach instead of the k meta. I don't have access to the other cleaners here. I use soap and water before I sanitize.
Do you think it was because I was trying to sanitize with k meta?
