[Davo123]

Firstly hi,

Ive been reading for a while and just havent registerd

My question is, i brewed a standard GB with 1kg of sugar of course, and my problem is i have some long stringy wierd stuff happening in the bottom of my bottles.

The brew didnt smell off or taste off when bottleing though.

Can anyone shed some light on this please ?

Sounds like a healthy acetobacter infection.

From here:
http://www.howtobrew.com/section4/chapter21-1.html

Symptom: It smells like vinegar.

Cause 1: Bacteria In this case, it probably is. Aceto bacteria (vinegar producing) and Lacto bacteria (lactic acid producing) are common contaminates in breweries. Sometimes the infection will produce sweet smells like malt vinegar, other times they will produce cidery smells. It will depend on which bug is living in your wort. Aceto bacteria often produce ropy strands of jelly which can be a good visual indicator, as can excessive cloudiness, after several weeks in the fermentor (although some cloudiness is not unusual, especially in all-grain beers).
Cure: If you don't like the taste, then pour it out. Lactic infections are desired in some beer styles.
