I brewed an oatmeal stout two or three weeks ago. I think I introduced some bacteria into the beer when I was checking FG about a few days ago. There's a significant pellicle forming on top, but the beer tastes perfectly fine as of yesterday.
As I see it, there are three options.
1) Suck it up. Keg it, drink it quickly and clean out the kegs and the line really well.
2) Bottle it. FG was around 1.012 so the bugs probably don't have enough food to burst the bottles right? Also, don't know how a sour stout will taste, or even if the bugs in my house turn out anything drinkable.
3) Dump it.
I'm leaning towards 1. I'm sure a lot of people have had this problem. How did you deal with it and what do you recommend?
EDIT: Forgot to mention - the beer tastes perfectly fine as of yesterday.
