My belgian IPA is 8 days along now and the krausen is settling down. I stuck my nose inside the fermenter bucket to get a quick whiff and got a noseful of an almost mildewy smell in front of the yeasty goodness that it’s in front of. I noticed the lowered krausen wasn’t so much foamy as almost a solid with foamy patches coming through. Pretty sure I’m dealing with an infection, but wanted to double check with you guys first.
Really? I don’t think I’ll be having dinner with you in this lifetime. I can see it now, creamed potatoes with cloudy homebrew and split pee soup… yikes.
