I posted about making a beer on the soured mash. Now someone has posted that the smell I described sounds like Lacto... THEN yoop commented in another thread about leaving warm mash over night and letting it sour producing lactobacillus...I like the way this stuff tastes but am I looking at bottle bombs from an infection even though it was boiled 2 hours?
 
i'm assuming you boiled post-mash? if so, the boiling would ward off any live bacteria. you should be fine.
 
+1 I thought you boiled it before fermenting. So that would give you the lacto character from the sour mash, but kill off the bacteria that caused it.

ok I am good then.. yes I boiled it for two hours after mashing then fermented.
