I'm going to go with it anyway (still pitch the yeast and carry on)... I brewed on Friday, didn't pitch the yeast yet. Today is Monday. It's literally been 3 full days. I'm getting my yeast ready for pitching. Note: this is a ten gallon batch, plot into two fermenters. One fermenter has been bubbling too much today, for not having yeast. I took a peak and it's developing a decent cake on top. The other one is fine. No activity. Do you think the one with activity has been contaminated? I figure there's no saving it if it has. I'm going to be pitching washed yeast into both. Just wondering if there's a smell I should be expecting if it went bad, or should I be seeing mold, or has this ever happened to anyone? I just figured: I've worried about many batches before, and they turned out fine. So I'm going to go forward and see what happens. Thoughts?
