So you boiled 8 pounds of bananas foster (including the ice cream?) + 1/2 gallon of heavy cream for 45 minutes with your wort? Interesting.

One time, I left some milk out of the fridge overnight. Curdled, sour, and spoiled. Fermented milk isn't something I'd drink on purpose!

(I don't like keffir, and the yogurt I eat is lacto fermented).

It won't hurt you, though, just taste terrible.

No ice cream, just heavy cream. It tasted really good when I tried some wort. I used 7 lbs of light malt and cascade hops along with some lightly roasted barley.

At a minimum, I'd anticipate having to do a lot of skimming to get all the milkfat out. There's gonna be a ton of it.

The milk fat might not ever separate. Commercial cream contains carrageenan, which is an emulsifier.

Am I the ONLY one who gags at the thought of fermented curdled milk in my beer?

Ah! Milk fat is probably what made the foam so thick in top, I could skim that off in a jiffy
