Subject: White powdery crud that begets acetone?
When I think of infected beer, y'all come to mind :-)
To date I've never dumped a batch of beer but I'm 'bout ready to. When
it started, roughly 3 years ago, this was a "Briess light wheat" extract beer
with some coriander and orange peel thrown in. A tested recipe that seemed
worth repeating (Tooncinator Motley Cru in the Cat's Meow, for the details).
I screwed around and didn't bottle it for several months and it eventually
started growing a white, powdery substance on the surface.
Apathy reigned for another 18 months or so; I decided to just let the
infection run it's course and see what would happen (maybe a plambic?). I
finally got sick of looking at it a month ago and racked out 4 1/2 gallons
or so of clear beer into a keg and purged the airspace, hoping to kill or
stall whatever the infection is. Unfortunately, this beer now has a rather
nasty acetone aroma. No sourness or other redeaming features that I've
noted, just a rather bland, watery beer laced with acetone.
Any suggestions on a way to mutate this mess into something, er, nice? I
also managed to get a sourdough starter to reek of acetone by neglecting to
refrigerate it. Early in the week it smelled like good sourdough, by Friday,
nailpolish remover.
Unfortunately I don't have any slugs that need baiting. Other suggestions
welcome, TIA.
