I had my first beer infection yesterday, in a hefeweizen. Apparently some fruit flies got into my fermenter, which I have read is almost a sure-fire acetobacter infection. At any rate, it was white, and fuzzy, and I racked about 3.5 gallons of beer from underneath it to bottle, and tossed the rest.
I realized after I had put the 3.5 saved gallons in my bottling bucket that I had added too much sugar, 5 gallons worth, instead of 3.5 gallons worth. Nevertheless, I went ahead and bottled it.
Today, I see something that looks like either yeast rafts or the beginning of a resurgent infection in almost all the bottles. Can anyone give me odds on which one it's likely to be, and advice as to what I should do if it's the latter?
