I placed 4 gallons of hot wort in a carboy and corked it with a solid bung; it cooled to room temperature. I then transferred the cool wort to another carboy that has a thermometer strip on it, sealed it with a solid bung. (I sure this is when the infection happened.) The next day, the bung blew off and foam had formed on top of the wort. I haven't pitched the yeast yet. Can I reheat this wort and kill the wild yeast/bacteria?
