LACTO INFECTION
Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2016 12:53 pm
Whats the go on running washes with a lacto infection. From what ive read on the internet it seems a lot of people just run it and it tastes just fine.
from what I gather doing sour mashes helps stop lacto and other infections from occurring but does anyone have a method for stopping it taking hold without doing a sour mash?
iv done three all grain ferments all turning out with a lacto infection. My sanitizing is all above board as far as i know brewing beer for a few years with no infections to date. I know brewing beer is a bit different as the wash is boiled before fermenting thus killing all chances of wild yeast and bacterial infections.
has anyone had the same problems with lacto infections and know what to do, or maybe my sanitizing process is flawed ?
i use sodium per-carbonate for cleaning and star-san no rinse for sanatizing
