I made a barley wine back in Jan. its been in secondary for seven months or so. So I forgot about it in the corner. I came to it last month with the airlock almost dry. I smelled Vinegar when I smelled the airlock. I assumed I had ruined it and went to dump it.
I poured the first bit into a glass and tasted it. It tasted good. So I set it down, cleaned and refilled the airlock. It's been another month and the vinegar smell is gone.
There are no other signs of infection. I think I'm gonna bottle this. Has anyone else ever experienced a strong vinegar smell?
