I'm new to sours, and I wanted to get some going so I made up a starter with some weak runnings, dregs from a Petrus Aged Pale and a drop of sludge from my first sour, a Berliner Weisse made with WY 3191. This was on Saturday. It formed a pellicle and I gave it a whiff yesterday and the solvent smell is pretty strong.
The internet tells me it's ethyl acetate, but I didnt find many straight answers if it's ok to keep or toss it out. Maybe I accidentally over oxygenated it?
I'd rather not make five gallons of paint remover or vinegar.
Any advise appreciated
Thank you
