My pliny the elder clone has been sitting in the bottles now for a little over two weeks and I decided to give it a try today. After pouring the beer into my glass I noticed a tiny white ring around the bottle neck and grimaced. I've tasted the beer though and there are no off flavors that I can tell. It actually tastes quite excellent. However, I was hoping to age this as it was pretty high gravity (1.076). Is there any chance that the large amount of yeast and hops from the dry hop that made their way into my bottling bucket (I wanted every last bit) could have caused the ring? Is two weeks enough for a bacterial infection to get started in a beer that's over 7% alcohol?
