pitched a starter with what was dead yeast. made another starter and pitched 72 hours later. the beer took off pretty quick. the growler that was filled with sanitizer from the blow-off tube is now filled with yeast/trub. the tube didnt clog, but it looks as though fermentation is so vigorous that c02 burned small parts of the tubing? no joke, there are a few black rings on the tubing near the growler. the beer itself looks strange as well. looks like some hazy/white stuff is stuck to the side of the carboy? never seen this, even during vigorous fermentations. i guess my question is did my beer suffer from waiting 72 hours to pitch another starter? did the initial dead yeast starter act as nutrient for the healthy starter during fermentation? anyone ever see the crazy black burn marks on a blow-off tube or the weird hazy stuff stuck to the side of the carboy (not krausen)? should i change the blow-off tube and growler with sanitzer out or should a wait till i keg? thanks and cheers in advance
