Infection okay?

[stephenabney]

Went on vacation, turned AC off. during 4th week in fermenter, temps got 85ish outside. Got this infection. Is this safe to bottle? Thanks!

The bottles might blow up, as the infection may continue to ferment. I'd wait until that infection was winding down before bottling.

Well, no, I wouldn't. I actually would dispose of it and bleach bomb my equipment. But others will tell you to wait until it's "done" and then taste it to see if it's at all a decent sour and bottle it.

I've never heard of an accidental sour tasting good, though.

Wait it out if you don't need the fermenter, dump it if you do, up to you. If you do bottle, keep them cold and In a safe place. The temperature didn't cause the infection though (May have sped it up)...that's all sanitation.
