It sounds like you started making wine before beer. If so I might be
able to save you a wee bit of agony. With wine a couple campden
tablets were sufficient for sanitization. With beer you want to think
more like hospital sanitization. If something is going to touch your
beer, have it sanitized first. I managed to toss my first couple
batches because I figured what was good for wine would be good for
beer. Not even close. Good luck.
