      I have found my beers become way over carbed and find a few become gushes after sitting in the garage for a few months. I am thinking that it is the heat of the afternoon sun that could be doing it as everything else is fine. What do you guys think, does the hot temps increase carbonation levels after a few months conditioning....

      Just an update
      I did a quick check of my temp control box probe. It was telling me the temp was 5 degrees warmer than what the actual temp is, therefore I think the beers were not fermenting out. Time for a new stc 1000

      Guys,
      
      I have just copped my third infectin in 3 brews. Total bummer and waste of money. I did everything as normal, cleaned and sanitised with Starsan then No chilled into cubes. Left them for a couple of weeks then noticed that they started to swell, major stink, almost like tomato sauce. Do you think i have left the no chill too long???

      I pull my ball valve, weldless thermometer and pick up tube off the pot and clean them after every brew. I never used to but you'd be surprised where things can hide.
      I also,After decanting the wort into fermenter and kicking it off. Soak the cube straight away immediately.
      I tend/try not to drink much while brewing as the clean up is a pain in the ass after a few beers.
      Another is always use hot water with napisan if you don't already.
      
      I've recently taken to rinsing my cube immediately, then...
