Use For Infected Beer?

I have an 8 gallon batch of dunkelweiss that has a bad acetobacteria infection, and is turning to vinegar.

Was planning to pitch it, but I had a thought:

What is partly vinegar, and benefits from adding some beer?

BBQ SAUCE!!!

So, I am going to take a couple of pints to use as a BBQ sauce base. Who knows, I might have found something great.

I was going to say toilet bowl cleaner, but let us know how it turns out!

I had an infected batch that I've been using a lot in cooking. It makes a mean pulled pork sandwich when you soak the pork in the beer overnight. I imagine BBQ sauce would work great.

I was just now thinking of a marinade for the chicken breasts...

Our club just had a cooking with beer dinner and the beer was the clubs Flanders Red that went a little too sour.

Steamed Mussels EPIC!

You could use it to marinade Saurbraten.

Wife and I macerated fresh cherries with it then simmered it down and added sugar.
Put it on a torte, its was GREAT.

Belgian beer stew (drooling)

I wouldnt dump it on a bet, if you dont need the keg just leave it there and pour as you need it.

Also, you could blend it a little with other beers. We did that and had a lot of fun AND discovered some great uses for it.

I had planned on using my quinoa/amaranth (home malted for a gluten free batch) to make some gluten free beer brats because it couldn't be any worse than the sauerkraut. However, a year has passed and it isn't really sour anymore. Not good, but not sour.
