Hello everyone, as I was racking my first ever batch of an extract brew last night, day 5 since pitching the yeast, I came across a slimy jelly like substance about an inch long and the size of a pencil in diameter. It smushed like jello between my fingers. As I have read, this is a sure sign of a lacto-infection, am I screwed? I'm not going to dump it, I'm definatly going to wait, but has anyone ever experienced such discoveries? Can i stop it? Thanks very much for your help :rockin:
Im thinking it came from dry hopping or tossing in the irish moss after the boil (since i forgot to toss in the finishing hops and the moss during the last 5 minutes of the boil), because thats the only place I can see of where I wasnt sterile.. thanks again, have a good day
