So 2 batches in a row I had some funkiness. First batch had some white crusty floaties that people ruled out as infection. I am drinking that batch out of my 1st keg and its pretty delicious, no sourness whatsoever.
My Pumpkin Ale had some white stuff on top and a more experienced brewer from here said it was fine. A few days later the white stuff developed into what looks exactly like:
I tasted it and the beer is fine, I scooped up most of the nasty stuff and plan to bottle it (for aging purposes). My question is can I harvest the yeast or is the extra wild yeast can cause problems and replicate for every single batch I do it?
