I'm pretty certain that i have a Brettanmyces infection in my Stout. I've looked at some pics online and they look very similar. I think it came from the oak chips i threw into the secondary. The chips had been dried, soaked in water and then toasted in the oven until they were scorched. I would have thought that would have got rid of any nasties. Well not so. My questions are: what effect/taste will this have on the beer? How long can i leave it in the secondary plastic fermenter? Should i bottle straight away before it has a noticible effect on the beer?
