Forced to admit that it's the cider causing my GI distress. Yesterday's batch is already vinegar, and even smells like some sort of industrial solvent. That brown scum floating on top is probably something nasty after all. Had to throw away over 6 quarts, and will now need to wait for fresh wild yeast in my clean jars.
It's been raining, and radar shows a lot more on the way. Yeah!
