I have brewed an all-grain stout and now app. two weeks after botteling I get the dreaded rings around the bottle necks, according to Papazian a 100% sure sign of bacterial infection. The beer doesn't really taste or smell off, but being a stout it has quite a full taste on its own. My worry is that a bacterial infection will make the beer dangerous to drink? Is there any possibility that the rings are caused by yeast from the fermantaion of the priming sugar? I haven't had them before, but now I fear loosing two brews (the other one is in secondary fementation now) to poor sanitation...
