yeah.... I am not sure what to think. In person its looks more powdery than fuzzy... but its a little too much like the stuff in the fridge of my first apartment. I guess I will give it another month or two and see what happens...

Here ya go.... it's 4 months born on date 7/17.. I've not checked it in some time so not sure when it got like this

This is my first attempt at a Lambic. Its about 4 months into fermentation. I am using Wyeast 3278 - I've never had an infection is this right?

Put me in!

I wouldn’t wait. I had one bottle bomb. I then opened every bottle in the batch and 2/3 of them gushered. I dumped the batch assuming it had an infection.

Thank you for this. I've recently started using that same Taylor brand thermometer and my last few batches have been watery. I knew it was temperature related and I was confused, but now I am like well duh... helps to have correct temperature readings. so I just ordered a fancy new guaranteed...
