Matty A Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi Guys, I have just ran into something weird. I put on: - Can of OS Stout - Can of OS Dark Ale - 500g of Dextrose - Yeast from 4 Sparkling Ale longnecks. This has been brewed at 20C and it has stalled at 1030 so I pitched some more yeast. Although the weird thing that I noticed was that when I was tasting the sample it smelt a lot like milk. Then I had a taste of it and there was a hint of milk (not sure if it was the smell giving me the flavor or not). Anyone else come across this or knows what would cause this. At first I thought of infection but it isn't a bad smell or taste, just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty A Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Looks like I will just leave it in the fermenter for a while as normal, taste it and if it is still ok I might bottle it and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've never come across this before...PB2 will probably have a valid theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 If only we could upload aromas.[tongue] Just guessing:- The smallest hint of diacetyl may present as milk-like to some people. I hope it's not the early stages of Lactobacillus contamination as this will only get worse [unsure] [crying] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should just leave it for a couple of weeks in the fermenter, try it again and see what its like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
