I've come to the conclusion that my chocolate stout is infected for three reasons: When transferring from the primary to the secondary, there was a gunky top layer on the beer ( I racked under this into a secondary, a film did not appear in the secondary or bottles). The taste of the beer has been off. When tasted at bottling, and after 3-4 weeks in the bottle the beer tastes notably sour. Finally, the beer has not carbonated and has a very thin taste (no body). This is my second stout and this one is as thin as the light ale I've brewed. These three things and the article here : http://www.ratebeer.com/Story.asp?StoryID=462 make me think I have infected beer.
Would you conclude the same thing? Is there anyway that I can use this beer?
Thanks for the help guys!
