So I had some extra runoff (1.028) left over after my last brew two weeks ago. I threw it into a 1 gallon growler and thought I would leave it go for a couple days to get some lacto from the grains, then maybe boil it up and add a little hops before pitching yeast. I believe that what a berliner weis is correct?
Long story short, I forgot about it until today (2 weeks sitting in the garage at ambient temp (60 to 85 recently). It has a large krausen-like foam that had actually pushed up through the loosely fitted cap and spilled out a little bit. No pellicle or any other weird growth that I could tell. The bottom of the growler had a thin layer of what looks like yeast.
I didnt taste it, or test gravity, but it smells....not terrible. I am not very well versed with sour or wild beers so I dont really know what to look for. It basically smells less offensive than if I would have left my spent grains in the MLT for a couple days.
So what do I have here? What does everyone suggest I do with it now?
