isn't there a lab that will test a sample of your brew and send you a report? I'd be interested to know if my strange foam is the early stages of an infection
Post a picture that we can see.
I had one this summer. Was cooling the wort by putting it in an ice bath and accidentally dropped an ice cube in the wort. I quickly fished it out with a sanitized whisk and hoped for the best but when I racked it to secondary (so I could reuse the yeast cake) I realized it was sour. Just to keep the flavor steady, I boiled, cooled and added some brown sugar to increase the alcohol and, hopefully, kill the lacto. It tasted okay when I bottled it but I haven't had the nerve to open any bottles yet.
