I just went to keg my cherry chocolate vanilla stout and it looks like it's got a minor infection. It's just one spot, smaller than a dime, but I'm pretty sure it's an infection. So is the beer savable if I just rack the beer from under it? I took a sample, and it didn't taste rotten or anything, not exactly the flavor I was trying for, but still not a rotten or bad taste. I hate to dump it since I've got quite a bit of time and money into this particular brew. Any thoughts?
A little more info, it spent nearly 4 weeks in primary, OG 1042, FG 1012 at transfer onto cherries/chocolate/vanilla, unknown gravity after this addition, but it had another active fermentation, 1020 after 7 days, 1016 after 10 days, and 1014 today (2 weeks).
Here's the one spot, the rest looks fine.
