Last fall, I placed a warm starter underneath an apple tree in my backyard. A few days later, there was signs of fermentation. I built up the starter (2) more times before putting it in the fridge.
On Friday, I made (7) gallons of a blonde ale. The picture of the carboy on the left has 2 gallons of the blonde 24 hours after pitching my backyard yeast. Time will tell how this beer develops. Just a little experiment.
The carboy on the right has 5 gallons of the blonde ale being fermented with Abbaye Ale yeast. Once it ferments, I plan to siphon a sour beer on top of the blonde that I began fermenting in September of 2016. About a year ago, I added 16 ounces of tart cherry Montmorency concentrate to the gallon of sour beer. I figure I will let this carboy sit for a while.
