I have a batch that I believe has an infection in it. There is a sour taste and the air lock is still bubbling about every 5-8 seconds after 3.5 weeks in the primary. I have reached a fg of 1.012 and there is still alot of gas being produced, but I don't think it is co2 at this point. I am going to rack to a secondary and let it set for a while longer so I can free up my primary. So my question is will it be safe to bottle eventully if the sour taste clears up or will the priming sugar start the large amount of gas being produced and over pressure? I believe the infection came from a leak that occured with my imersion chiller that began to leak when cooling.
