About 3 weeks ago I put a malt agar plate on my front porch for a few hours. Various colonies grew. I plated a number of them individually on Sabouraud agar. (Low pH + antibiotic.) Five that passed that wicket were individually "pitched" on small amounts of hopped wort for sort of a second bacterial screen and to test fermentation properties. Two are still crystal clear and smell like malt and hops two weeks later. Three, probably of the same strain, got cloudy and smell phenolic, funky, generally Belgian. Which sounds good, except that I'm not sure what sort of microbe I'm dealing with. It is pale yellow, formed a film of sorts, and also has clumped together in small "chunks" (almost like pieces of the film) suspended in the wort. Picture below, and any insight anyone can give will be awesome.
