Lacto infection! Help!

Post by Slivovitz »

I have 180 pounds of peaches fermented naturally on wild yeast. It has been fermenting for 6 days and now has an obvious lactic pellicle forming on top.

I smell a little vinegar but not much.

How can I save my must? I have $300 in this barrel and I can't put it on a boiler for almost 48 hours more!

Who can suggest a way to slow this down or remove it?

This is my small fermenter which has the same problem as my 55 gallon barrel.
