New to the posting, but I've been lurking for a while. I've been brewing for about a year, and have done maybe 30 batches or so. Never had an infection, or any suspicion of one until now.
This is a 10 gallon batch of Honey Wheat that I split and pitched S-04 in one and S-05 in the other. Both did fine, but the S-05 was a little slower to start, but when I took a reading 12/2 after a week, the S-04 was at 1.014 and the S-05 was crushing it at 1.008! I pitched at 70 degrees, and it's been fermenting since 11/24 at between 64 and 67.
However, I think I contaminated it taking a sample. I followed my usual sanitation method of spraying around the lock and the sample taker with Star San prior to use, but I noticed the white milky stuff in the fermenter on the left a few days later. It has a definite sour smell, but it's not overpowering. Thoughts? Is it salvageable? Should I just give it some more time and take another sample and see how it's doing?

yea...the s-05 looks like it may have picked somthing up. At this point, might as well let it ride. Since it's a wheat,maybe rack on to some fruit, and worst case, you get a sour out of the deal. I'm not a fan myself, but some people go nuts for them.

I agree with whitehaus:
Doesn't mean it's undrinkable, just has a sour flavor. I've been brewing about the same amount of time and # of batches. I won't bore with the details, but I had several batches come out that way this past summer. Took me a couple to figure it out. One suggestion I would make is bottle it now then sit on it for a month. I did that with a couple of the batches and it seemed to minimize the effect.
