I wouldn't bother drinking it as is, keep it airtight until you get ya still head. Or ya want to shut down the infection maybe make a syrup up of a couple of cups of sugar, stir it up and re-seal with an airlock. The bit of extra fermentation with give you a new cO2 layer and kill off ya infection a bit.

G'day fellas, I am wondering if you guys are stripping this wash and then running on 4 plates or just running once on 4 plates. I have a FSD Neutralizer rig with a 50 litre milk can boiler. I was planning on stripping in pot mode, then a slow (toothpick stream) spirit run with 4 plates? Any advice.
Cheers.

I wouldnt strip first is why I built a bubbler so I didnt have to. Only thing I strip first is neutral.

Cheers Bluc, thanks for the prompt reply, appreciated. Would you suggest running in full reflux mode for any amount of time? Or just get up to temp and run? Cheers.

Did mine on a single run through 4-plates.

Just the usual bring up to full reflux for 15 or so minutes before pulling fores, then a steady stream for the rest of the run.

Anyone knows of a plum farm/orchards in Young/Yass region (NSW)? I lost contact and wanted to buy some directly (they used to sell them in barrels of 200-240 kg)....
