Hello all!
I have a question about beer contaimintation:
How can you tell visually when your beer is contaminated. I'd like to know from primary, secondary, bottles, and kegs. If anyone has pictures of this, that would be a GREAT visual! Thx!

This one was done intentionally (see my mango beer recipe)

A big clue is that the beer is cloudy, but it's not chill haze or yeast.

The reason I am asking this is because I have NEVER had this happen to me yet. Does mold look like mold (bread mold)? I just need some close ups pix or illustrations to give me an idea. I'd hate to work so hard at something and loose it all to contamination.
Thx

This is a good sign of an infection. It was a stored yeast sample that accidentally got left out of the fridge. The same thing hit my pear cider when, due to a set of unfortunate circumstances, I had to neglect for a month. It is probably acetobacter from fruit flies.

But, just because your beer may look ok, doesn't mean it isn't contaminated.
