I did a pumpkin ale, used a harvested notti for the yeast. It was only 2 gallons so I used my gooood old mr beer keg. Took a look today and it's clearly infected - note the mid/bottom part of the photo where the light was reflecting, you can see between the rafts.
Towards the back where I couldnt get a picture due to the angle, it's white and webbed, only the surface. This was brewed weeks ago, fermentation is well completed, no way this is just yeast rafts.
From what I've read I think this is a "lacto" infection. Here's my question: If I rack off it and bottle, can it be saved? It clearly smells like beer but stings the nose slightly, co2 is a candidate for that but the infection could also.
I'm not too concerned if I have to dump it, I'm incredibly anal about sanitation though so I dont know how this crept in on me, only thing I can factor was the type of yeast harvest - it was my first time washing a cake...
Yay or nay?
Happy Thanksgiving HBT!
