Hello all. newbie here. newbie to forum but long term home brewer since 1996, chiefly with kits. Real Ale lover.
for about the second or third time in my brewing career, this year's Yule brew was spoiled with "Vinegar Fly"
this is a local orkney term for what happens when a brew goes vinegary which I think is owing to poor sterilisation & sanitation in the fermenting bucket.
so I have 40 pints of undrinkable plink.
before I chuck it on the garden, does anyone know of any useful things to be done with this? I wondered what cooking it might work with, or pickling?
I am pretty sure that it got fly in the fermenting vat because I racked it off to 1 corny keg plus 4 lemonade bottles and it's all the same.
thanks in advance
