My first attempt at harvesting yeast from a commercial beer (a can of Heady). Starsan on everything, boiled all my step ups for 5 mins, thought I was doing everything right...and the yeast is growing. Was stepping up last time this morning, and tasted a little of the decanted spent wort.
It was a little sour. Not a lot sour, but definitely sour.
Does this mean I messed up the sanitation, dump it; or is there some logical reason that the wort would have a slightly sour taste due to the higher concentration of yeast or something something, maybe, please?
