hello. i caught some yeast in my yard a while ago and i decided to use it to funk up some robust porter i was brewing. so i split the boiled wart between 5gal and a 1gal fermenters. the 5 gal i did with regular yeast, the 1 gal with wild yeast. the idea was that i would sample the wild when it was done and if the flavor seemed like something that would work, i'd add it to the 5 gal.
well, when i sampled it it tasted pretty fantastic, so i racked them into a separate fermenter and let it sit. i was planning to let it sit for a while too, because i figured it would taste best if it matured some, so it has just been sitting in this fermenter a couple weeks.
now the fermenter is not transparent, so i couldn't see into it this whole time and today i decided to give it a look, and well, it looked pretty f-in weird.
kind of like one of those alien egg collections from sci-fi movies.
first thing i thought, of course, was infection, but doesn't that smell real bad. this looks awful but smells fruity and delicious.
anyone ever seen anything like this? what should i do?
