Hi all,
I recently stepped up some pacman from some Rogue dregs, and after reaching 2L of starter I noticed the ring of yeast at the top looked "hairy", like the soft bristles of a comb, only shorter. The ring was pure white and held together; you could only notice the "hairs" moving if you swirl the flask a bit.
Basically, this looks nothing like the nasty pictures you see in the "infection threads", but I'm unsure of whether this is safe or not. The rest of the flask was very clear, with no floaties on top. It smelled extremely estery, almost soapy, kindof like a hefe. Any advice on whether I should trust this or not?
Thanks
