Well, I'm giving it another go. Currently chilling the wort. I don't see how anything could have survived in that fermenter. Bleached it twice and some starsan this morning.

Some positive signs early on. Fermentation has taken off quickly and explosively! I pitched dry Voss about 4 hours ago and it rocking and rolling. Gravity is down 4 points already.

Gravity down from 1.074 to 1.015 in 22 hours. Definitely a good sign compared to how the bad batches went.

Noice. Is it possible you had some "bad yeast" before?

[Gusso]

If it happened once, yes. But it happened 3 times or so with different yeasts.

Ah, got it.

It looks done. Sample tasted fine - hope those bugs are eradicated.

Probably gonna keg it tomorrow. It seems "right" - fast fermentation that ended without hesitation (finished at 1.013). The troublesome ones were slow to ferment then kept slowly going down to 1.005-ish.

Brewed last Sunday. Drinking tonight. Firstly, no F-ing infections! Tastes fine. No definition of what it is - Amber Kveik? Just winged a recipe to see if I killed off the virus. Very drinkable.
