Fermentation started before I pitched the yeast

[jasonclick]

so we decided to brew at the last minute. I made a Scottish ale wee heavy which required a large starter. I brewed Sunday and put it in my fermentation chamber. I started my yeast starter and pitched it today (Wednesday). Before I pitched it, I noticed that my fermenter was bubbling away... looks like a bad sign. I must have caught some wild yeast. So is it ruined or will my yeast take over? I made a 1/2 gallon starter.

I guess we'll find out Hope for the best and see what happens.

Why didn't you just go get some dry yeast? If you brewed at the last minute, I'm guessing there's a decent chance you have a LHBS, but I suppose you could have just had the yeast in the fridge already.

Let it ride, post pictures.

here's what I woke up to this morning. I guess the yeast I pitched is taking a foothold... hopefully they'll drive back the invading enemy yeast :rockin:
