My beer has been in the FV for about a week, and when I had a look at it to check if its ready for kegging, there was a rather pungent vinegar aroma.
The question is: Is the batch completely buggered, or is this not uncommon after/during primary ?(I have never noticed it before with other brews)
Vinegary smell
