Imagine my surprise when I opened my bucket of Lake Walke Pale Ale only to find it had a pellicle, and smelled of Nail Polish Remover.
I'm assuming this is acetobacter. I haven't tasted it yet, but is there any chance the beer is salvagable? When I dry hopped last friday there was no evidence of infection, so this has happened since then.
I can keg right away if need be, will refrigeration stop the infection?
