Hello,
I live in Colombia, this a country with a small home-brewing tradition, I'm sure we are'nt more than 100 homebrewers in all of the country. this is a reason why I have to import all of my supplies: My malts are from Chile, and my yeast and Hops come fron the US (at really high cost; one sachet of saflager S-23 costs me about $15USD). As you can imagine i'ts quite hard to make culture and convince the people that homebrew is better than Industrial brew.
One of my yeast cultures got infected with acetobacter, I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of that annoying bacteria without harming the yeast, I thought of an acid bath, but i dont think that may work since acetobacter is an acid producing bacteria...
Any Ideas??
Nick.
