Subject: Lactic infection in my cider 

I pitched a batch of five gallons fred meyer bottled cider plus two cans 
granny smith concentrate (seneca, i think) with edme yeast a few weeks ago. 
Upon racking to cornelius keg, there appeared in the cider jellylike blobs, 
although the cider tasted fine. I avoided racking the blobs, and let it 
force carbonate for a week, and have been chilling it for two days. The 
cider is maybe a little hazy, and quite sour. It is alcoholic, by human 
metabolic test :-P, and the final sg was 1.004. COuld I have the infamous 
"rope" that Miller talks about in his beer book? Should I choose to 
(over)indulge I would be loath to wake up in the morning with muscles that 
feel like I tried a triathalon without training. Please advise. 

Thanks, 
Bill Newcomb
