So, on the Reddit hombrewing sub recently, someone had a clear infection of some kind. They said they were going for a Berliner and tossed it at the sight of a pellicle. Fine, that's cool, their beer after all. I asked if they had at least tasted it just in case they had caught something yummy. This invited many people on a downvote brigade stating that the beer was most likely full of mycotoxins and that they would likely get ill, and it wasn't worth risking.
Now, I know someone here will know: can an infected beer be chock full of mycotoxins? I know mycotoxins on the malting side can be a problem, but once it's mashed and all, nothing pathogenic can form, right?
Thanks in advance. Any sources would also be nice if you got em
