I had a dead guy clone I tried to do this last July and while it was in secondary I had temps jump to the 100s which was too much to keep my beer in safe fermentation temps and I ended up with bubble gum. To give the beer the benefit of the doubt I kegged it anyways and let it do its thing
5 months later I've decided it is time to either tap the keg or dump it, so I tapped this evening. I poured the first glass to what I thought was yeast, so I kept on dumping glasses until #5 when I've decided it wasn't going to end. Now I'm sitting here with a glass trying to decide what to do now. The beer smells of a belgian and has the look of a sour. The texture is almost grainy. The taste isn't offensive but certainly not pleasant. The SWMBO is refusing to take more than a little sip. I think the beer is about to go down the drain as there is no way I can finish it man alone
Mostly I'd like to learn from this. Since I don't have AC July is going to likely become a lager in the kegerator time or belgians for fall. I'm pretty sure I ended up with an infection, but what are your thoughts?
