DMS because of power cut
I have an ESB that has been in the primary for two weeks and I am due to bottle, trouble is that it has got a good case of DMS. Well I am sure it is but with over 50 brews under my belt this is a first, I haven't noted it in my beer previously.
I think the cause was that just as I had it at the boil and was going to throw in the bittering hops the power went out. I just covered it and waited 2 hours for it to come back on. In hindsight I should have done a longer boil.
So now I have 20L of cooked corn flavoured beer.
Do I bottle it anyway and hope it conditions out? I have to say I am inclined to. An hour bottling isn't as much time wasted as 5 hours making it.

I lost one of my two elements as brewing , the boil was not strong enough and i had lid mostly on, I can say that DMS gets WORSE as it ages in the bottle and that one does NOT acquire a taste for it as time passes....
