| Very sturdy pellicle on the beer. Infected city. |
I went to bottle the pumpkin stout and it had a very firm pellicle resting on top of the beer. This beer was too far gone. It was not just some fatty acids but most likely bacteria present from the cocoa nibs that infected the beer.
Sure, I could of added some Brett and just let it go to make a Sour Chocolate Pumpkin stout but I have other plans for my carboys this winter and didn't want to hold one up with a beer that may or may not turn out.
Lesson of the day: Sterilize your cocoa nibs in some vodka prior to putting into your precious beer.
