So I spent all Saturday evening brewing an oatmeal stout (Slow Elk clone). I pitched WPL002 into it which had been purchased ~8hours earlier. There was no activity after 24 hours, and after ~48 hours there were patches of white mold-looking stuff floating on the top (still no activity). Unfortunately, I was on my way to a 36-hour shift at work and could not attend to it.
Got home Tuesday night, and there is about a 3/4 inch layer of foam "head" on the wort but *still* no activity in the fermlock. I opened it, and it has a strange odor, sort of like Campbell's vegetable soup. I was thinking about boiling and re-pitching, but I don't feel like putting all that effort in for something that's going to taste nasty.
I've got to make a decision tonight--boil or dump it. Any advice?
