After 6 months of waiting to bottle my yearly cider making I was bummed out to find a few ants had somehow found their way into the 3 piece airlock and drowned. Along with their floating carcasses was a thin white growth inside the airlock (which must be alcohol tolerant since I use vodka in there).
Bigger issue is that infection spread to the cider, and there appears small growths on the surface. It's not a massive infection, and doesnt smell bad.
I can keg this batch if need be but I was going to bottle. I've never made a sour or bottled infected beer, what can I use to make sure everything is dead or stripped out just to be on the safe side?
