How much time should I wait for Acetaldehyde to clean up before determining my beer has been infected
I have recently made an extract amber ale from a recipe kit, after primary fermentation was done I bottled my beer for priming, the beer had a strong sour smell than but after searching online I assumed it's because the beer is still young. After another 2 weeks of priming I opened a bottle and it smelled sour, bet less so from bottling day, the beer tastes sour/tart. To my understanding this can either be from a wild yeast infection, or Acetaldehyde that will disappear in the future. How much time should I wait before I can safely assume it's an infection?
