So this is a 2 liter starter in a 5 liter flask. Yeast = Sundew, which I’m super exited for. Definitely smells strongly of fruit and tastes like fruit out of the package. Anyways, I made the starter at night and the next morning there was a decent Krausen - maybe an inch or so. I always swirl a few times a day so when I did it that morning, nothing unusual. It foamed up an inch or 2 but that always happens. I put it back where it was and left. Came back later and it went on to over flow.
My question is, the crud that’s now at the top of the flask - does that pose risk for infection? I boiled in the flask so the flask was very well sanitized. The foil was sprayed with rubbing alcohol. I rubbed the year pack with alcohol prior to opening so sanitization was good.
