Nothing but sours FOREVER if you use those plastic fermenters again. It might be possible to save them with a complete disassemble & nuking everything with strong bleach solution for a week or so, but once those nasties are entrenched, no amount of cleaning/sanitising will save them. Keep them for sours only & get new ones for "proper" beers.

Yeah bleach bombing it is the next step. I'm gonna be fuming if I make another sour after though haha

I'm not a fan of sour beers, but if I was to do one, it would be kettle-soured-only, then ferment with a standard yeast.

I DO like a good Lambic in small quantities 'though....

Finally got the rig heating on the weekend.... been a good few years with house child and wife and only yhe 2nd time I've been able to run this whole rig since setting it up.
Double batch pale ale.
66° Sac rest.
Overshot my estimated OG of 1.045 and got 1.049, but was 2L under target volume of 46L
78% brewhouse efficiency, got some tweaks to make in the kettle calculations to get it more accurate.

One of my pressure fermentors got damages in thr shed so had to bosh out the old Coopers FV.
