About 5 months ago, I brewed a pale ale. Things seemed to be going well. Fermentation was ok, not great and was similar to my first brew. So I made my first mistake by putting it in my bottle bucket before I checked the SG. The SG was very low, and when I tasted it I could taste the unfermented sugars. My second mistake was that the original yeast scum from the bottom of the fermentor was already down the drain.
So then I put it back into a prepped glass fermentor and added some dry yeast (mistake 3?). and put it back in the basement were additional fermentation took place.
Mistake 4, it has been there for 4 months now.
Can this be saved? I am worried about bacteria, and getting sick. So, if it doesn't smell bad, would it be safe to bottle?
Thanks,
Mike
