Touche kinda means I concede your point. But now that you got me going again. I had 3 batches in a row look much like that photo. Started with gushers. Then bottle bombs. I asked around and was told to relax, drink em up fast and be careful about sanitation but now I dont totally agree. 10 years and a lot of batches later. This is a perfect time to look at the brewery. $5 with of tubing. Cheap racking cane or bottle filler. Bucket with even the slightest scratch would be gone in my brewery. It might be overreacting to say to just chuck it all, but I'm not talking about a glycol jacketed ss conical.Yeah, maybe the first millimeter. The other 20 inches under that might be just fine though.

Sorry man, I didn't intend to come off like I was trying to hammer it home. Sorry if it came off that way. I was just conversing about the subject matter.*buys first virtual round of pints*Touche kinda means I concede your point. But now that you got me going again.

+1 SS racking cane and silicone tubing will save you money in the long run. Break two auto siphons and you'll kick yourself that you didn't buy better quality in the first place.This is one reason I have a number of buckets now, stainless racking cane, and use silicone tubing. The buckets so I can throw them away if I find them suspicious enough, and it won't cost me too much (I do have glass, but I don't want to use it for beer, and I don't have the money for conicals), the stainless racking cane so I can just put it in the oven if I ever need to sterilize it, and the silicone tubing because for some reason I trust it much more, and I can circulate boiling water through it if necessary. I think I can even pressure sterilize it in the canner if I wanted to.I moved away from plastic racking canes when I broke a couple at the crook, and I also moved away from vinyl transfer tubing because I had to replace it so often. I pretty much use silicone tubing for all my transferring applications, even on my brewing system (and I've been using the same silicone tubing for over 3 years now). Despite the higher initial cost of the tubing, I am pretty sure it has actually saved me money by now.

I brewed up about 7 gals of mild one time, and only kegged 5. The other 2 gals sat in the fermenter for about 3 months, and eventually grew a small pellicle before I got around to kegging it. I really thought I'd have to dump it, but it turned out great. It had a touch of that cherry pie aroma, and a really great earthiness that made it so much more interesting than the original 5 gals.Let us know how this one turns out. Could be a one-of-a-kind beer that you'll never be able to replicate.I have totally racked out a heavily infected brew from under the surface crust and drank the entire batch mmmmmmmm wild flavour contributions.

you fart in your fermenter.....????I've had that white film stuff on my beers a bunch of times. It usually happens when I'm farting around in the fermenter after the fermentation is over, like dry hopping or something. I usually rack out from under it without any type of problem.
