True to form. Brewed 15 gallons, split it among 3 plastic buckets, dumped 3 different yeasts into it.
2 of the fermentations have my 'typical' infection. I am pretty sure it comes from my abudance of fruit trees on our family orchard. The 3rd fermenter has a new infection. In like 14 years of brewing I haven't seen this one. I have been playing with it since January, watching it get more and more obvious in my different brews. It was growing in a batch of yeast I have in store (WLP037) but this brew is using WLP038. I am thinking it has taken residence. The other two yeasts are WLP006 and WLP022. The WLP006 is from a jar of yeast I've refridgerated since last winter.
I'm thinking I'll keg all three and sit on them until the end of the summer. I brewed this up in late April and they all smell great.
Now to the pics.
