Ok, this is what I brewed yesterday. It's Cheese's CCA. Last night I found my blowoff tube curled out of the sanitized water and was exposed to the air. Seriously, vinyl tubing has become a nightmare for me. It could have been exposed for a max of about 5 hours. Needless to say, this is what I have on my hands. I've never had a contaminated batch. Is it safe to say that this beer is done for? Or could this simply be yeast, vanilla reaction, etc? This is my first time using glass carboys and I was sure to clean it thoroughly, but perhaps there was something still left in it or it snuck in while my blowoff tube was exposed. This is a sad day. Let me know what you think and if there is anything I can do.

Edit: the flash on the camera obscures some of the image, but this is pretty much what it looks like
