    Anyone seen something similar to what is in my Primary?

    So I opened up my Primary for a little peek today after a week fermenting, I was greeted by something I can only assume means I'm about to ditch a batch for the first time. I'm thinking some kind of bacteria but I've never seen a mess like this before. Has anyone on here ever seen anything...

    Wheat beer and No Head

    So as it says above, Ive brewed a wheat beer, my first all grain and there is essentially no head on it. It got 6lbs of wheat, 6lb 2-Row and 1lb of Vienna. I did a no sparge mash and all looked well, gravity came out at 1.064 so I brought it down to 1.058 for a more manageable brew. F.G came in...

    How do I know if its a bad brew?

    So here goes, I kegged up my last brew and got it carbonated nicely but it tastes a bit too sour/bitter. It was one of those Alfreds extract kits for a witbier with orange and coriander. I had a few bits floating in it after the secondary but not alot so didn't really worry too much about it...
