Infected?

[Gravity]

I already know the answer to the question, but want to have other eyes and opinions. Infected?

These are part of a 15 G batch I brewed about 1 month ago, I kegged 5 Gal about 2 weeks ago, and these two were left, i just only got around to kegging them and surprise surprise!

What I think happened: All three 5-gal batches were sitting at about 62F for 3 weeks, and i did a diacetyl rest where i went to about 70F for a couple of days. I kegged 1 batch and left the others fermenting, however, I went back to about 60F, This is where i think things got funky

I may just dump both

Take a look, tell me what you think

Without a doubt infected. Looks like lacto, but who knows. What kind of beer is it? If it's a stout, I'd let it ride for 6 months and see how it tastes if you like sours. No bad colors, so it's safe to drink.

I just dumped the bottom one

Its an English brown ale, so it has stoutish character, 6 months in the fermenting bucket? or kegged?

I definitely think its lacto, sours are alright - whats the game plan?

Pity. I had one that looked just like it (also stout ish). Got a little disheartened when I saw it so I put the lid back on and let it sit another month or two. Finally decided I wanted an open bucket and I still had my bottling stuff within reach so I figured I would just go ahead and bottle it. Couple weeks later I had a friend coming over so I stuck one in the fridge. He drank it, didn't die, and though it was ok. Lack of death out of the way I had one a few days later. Not bad at all. Drank the whole batch. I keep hearing around these forums that nothing that grows in beer can kill you so...

I've heard the same....I put it back in my fermenting chamber....this happened to me once before with an IPA about 3 years ago...I still bottled it and it turned out well...i'm hesitant to do anything with this one, especially since I could always use an open bucket...besides I already have a keg of the same brew, and its damn good....pity all 3 batches couldn't make it...I may give it a month tops in the fermenting bucket then see what happens...i'll also revise my sanitation technique, as thats what i'm more worried about
