I've been lurking on this forum for some time and finally signed up ![Banana :ban: :ban:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/h07028.gif)
So I'm having this weird starter issue. I tried to get some pacman yeast from a bottle of Rogue Shakespeare Stout by adding it to about 800 mL of canned wort. I let it go for a little over 2 days, lots of activity within the first few hours, and then crash cooled it in the fridge.
I just decanted and added another 800 mL wort to build the yeast up further. I tasted the decanted beer and it had a vinegar taste to it and a strong vinegar smell.
The strange thing is that I added the new wort and it's already going crazy after only a few minutes on the stir plate:
Does anybody have thoughts on what might be going on?
