This is actually the way I thought you were supposed to do it! I put the yeast in the bucket and open the valve to my brew pot and let the wort drop from a meter or so to create a big mix of foam and help oxygenate the mix.

I posted this in another thread, but I'm wondering if anyone can identify which infection this is? I'm really hoping it's brett since its a saison and I plan on drinking it in a few months.

Here's what it looks like today. I'm not exactly sure what it is and when I compare it to other people's infections I can't come to a clear conclusion. I've seen people call similar infections both lacto and brett, and there isn't a clear resource on the difference in appearance between these...
