If the content changes color from brown to orange after a few days, you know that the sample contained bacteria.Begin by testing for unwanted bacteria in wort or finished beer, using FastOrange B Tubes. If the results show the presence of microbes, you can try to isolate the source of the problem using FastOrange B Swabs on specific parts of the equipment.FastOrange B is a growth medium developed for detecting beer spoiling contaminants. Growth of microorganisms can be assumed if the contents becomes cloudy and / precipitate. If the sample contains acid-producing bacteria (eg.
