Help for a friend (yeast)

[Nash91]

A friend of mine has recently collected some “wild yeast” and started brewing with it (before brewing I warned him that there is a chance he has other beasties in it)

Today he has posted a pic to see if this looks ok. It’s unlike any krausen or pellicle I have ever seen and wondered if anyone here would have more info.

I’m assured it smells fine

Looks like normal krausen to me.

Is that still during primary fermentation (how long after brewing)?

Just over 24hrs in. By this time I usuallyend up with a very light foamy krausen and thought that looked rather dense.

But I am relatively new so I appreciate the help

It looks like a krausen. But it doesn't say anything about anything else. It's a wild yeast. I've collected wild yeast outside myself and it gave the most beautiful krausen I've ever had. It looked like an apple pie.

Just over 24hrs in.

Definitely krausen

Always love to see brewers using wild yeast!
