A curiosity turned obsession.
Hi,
first time this happens so I'm looking for advice. I have a 10G batch of blonde ale fermenting with WLP 001 and it's going like crazy even if I kept my temp to 64f. So much so that for the first time, the krausen reached the gas post on the spunding valve of my Spike CF15.
As I'm harvesting CO2 from that gas post to purge 2 starsan filled kegs intended to receive the finished beer, the beige creamy krausen made its way in both purged kegs.
Question is, am I ok using those kegs for conditioning and serving as the krausen went in there and will stay there for 7-9 days still, at room temperature? Or am I better off opening them, cleaning them and purging them with my CO2 tank to avoid any risk?
I don't want to run the risk of getting 10G of beer on something that went bad so I'm leaning toward opening them and cleaning them.
Thanks
