Couple weeks ago I brewed 2.5 x 5gal Killer Hop Pale Ale .. week ago I bottled the batch .. but in the process disturb a lot of the trub and decanted the remaining 2 carboys into the one - hoping that the trub would settle and I can collect another 10litres (or so it seemed at the time) .. so a week after that, today, wanted to collect and found a bunch of golf ball sized bubbles floating on the top and smelled a bit muf. I then realised that infection has taken place due to oxidation and ditched the lot down the sink.
Then I came to the conclusion that decanting wort into another vessel obviously airates the whole lot and starts vrotting. Thinking about it now .. dhuuh.
Anyway, just saying. Another lesson learned.
Just btw - with all these lessons I'm learning lately I must be getting very clever.. In fact I have a buddy who seems to knows everything .. you know the one who talks a lot .. but when I started to talk to him about beer and brewing - I realised he actually doesn't know much.
