Did a search but did not find an answer(honest I really did).
Would it be worth it to try a sugarhead off these grains after this lacto(hopefully) infection? The wash smells great, almost fruity. It was all grain oat,wheat and rye with 1/2 the 24 pounds of grains in 10 gallons home malted.
Fermented on the grain and 1 of the few times I did not boil after conversion(long time beer brewer) as consensus here is not necessary
Thoughts?
Sugarhead after lacto?

Re: Sugarhead after lacto?
The infection is in advanced state, try to distill the faster possibile by removing the floating stuff on the surface.
Re: Sugarhead after lacto?
Stripping it right now.
1) could not get past my brewing habits so could not bring myself to put sugar on that. That was only 7 days from yeast pitch(I used Angel)
2) checked supplies and was out of sugar!
Bleached fermenter and started another oats, wheat and rye mash !
Grains were cheap so no real loss on missing out on sugar head.
Thanks,

Re: Sugarhead after lacto?
Ive done multi gen sugarheads after serious lacto, butryic, etc. Never an issue.

Re: Sugarhead after lacto?
I have done a sugarhead after a lacto infection. Since you have such a large population of yeast, they seem to overpower the lacto.
This has been while doing a sour mash, so the lower initial pH gives the yeast an advantage.
The lacto infection will return, but not nearly as actively…

Good judgement is the result of experience.

Re: Sugarhead after lacto?
I agree. Add sugar and ferment - see what happens. Boiling in a still will kill it!

Thanks for the replies.
Too late for this run, but will try it the next time.
Latest mash wasn't boiled either so I am sure the infection will be back.
