I started fermenting a Cascade Spicy Ghost with 750 DEX and 500 LDME 2 weeks ago now.
The gravity has been sitting at 1020 for the last three days, but the airlock continues to bubble now and then. Looking back I really have left myself open to infection as the fermenter was properly santised a week before i threw my bits and pieces in (a swil with boiling water before hand).
Now I know this was foolish and looking back i was a little impatient at the time What I want to know is how can I be sure that the beer is infected, it has a strange smell (strong chemical smell not really like beer) and the taste is a little on the sour side, but it doesnt make me gag. I dont want t throw out something that may actually taste ok for a kit beer.
What do I do!?
