Brewed 3 - 10 gallon batches a couple of weeks ago and the last 10gal I forgot to make starters(too much HB while brewing) and had to let the wort is 3 days before yeasties were ready. Split the batch into 2 - 5gal ferm buckets and when I aerated the first all was good. The second, though, had a smidgen of mold growing on the top. Didn't worry too much about it and just aerated the crap our of it and pitched the yeast. Checked tonight and all 5 gallon beers are looking perfect except that one. I knew it wouldn't go correct, so I figured I'd just leave it and see what happens with my 1st infected batch. BIG bunch of BIG BUBBLED foam still on the top. Looks pretty cool, actually! Replaced the lid and swirled the crap out of it to see if anything might fall in the next day or so.
I'm not worried about it, I'll bottle from beneath and just see what happens.
Is it weird that I'm actually kind of excited that I finally got my 1st infection?
Any tips to leave it longer for some reason or hurry and rack from below?
haha Let me know! HAPPY INFECTED BREWING!
