I smelled acetic when i soured mine but it tasted cleanly sour. If you taste vinegar, you have an acetobacter infection and your batch is ruined, sorry to tell you.

You can get away with a touch of aceto, you just need to keep all o2 away for ever and ever.

Still no point hanging on to a bucket of bin juice for months if that's what you taste
