I've done a couple of batches since I had an infection in two of my big mouth bubbler fermenters and the last Cream Ale I did has a distinctive "sour" flavor and odor to it, so I think I've "soured" these two fermenters of mine. I've kind of already resigned myself to the fact that I need to replace them but does anyone have any idea what I could possibly do to try and salvage them for normal use? I've never made a sour (not on purpose) only once did I have the infection, so I didn't think much of it until subsequent batches had either an additional infection or an off flavor.
I was thinking an intense cleaning followed by an extended PBW soak and possible soaking them in other solutions to get rid of it if possible... Anyone else have a similar thing happen to them?
