I did a partigyle brew w another brewer (English barley wine followed by northern English brown) after 4 months I got a bottle bomb. I started popping the tops and pouring them out off the deck. Towards the end I got a whiff and recognized the smell of sour, took a taste and there it was, sour! The question is,what do I do with it? I have one bomber left. Can I carefully ease off the cap and stick an airlock on it and let it run it's course and use it to inoculate a full batch later or is this just one of those oh crap! Situations.
The brewer I brewed with is a big Belgian and sour brewer/drinker so it is entirely possible that the wort could have picked up an "environmental" bug.
