Hi,

Below there is a recipe that I found by accident. My wort was infected by some Yoghurt bacteria in the kitchen since I was preparing a yogurt while I was brewing (same cheasy smell) ... Nevertheless, I didn't give up and boiled the wort with some hops and let it ferment with a top fermenting yeast. The result was stunning. I got a very nice and tasty low alcohol beer (about 1%). It tastes like lager even though it was fermented by an ale yeast. So, here is the moral, don't throw away your wort even if it gets an infection, you can certainly make something interesting out of it and above all, avoid brewing in the place where you cook.

Cheers,

Manolo
