I make a kool aid hooch. ( don't judge me it is good lol) Anyway it is simply sugar water with nutrient, energizer, a little tannin and yeast ( skeeter pee recipe minus the lemon juice). I let that ferment dry then stabilize it and use that to mix kool aid ( wife and her sister love it, so does my oldest son) Well I made a starter this time and like an idiot I did NOT boil the water.. I have no idea why ... had the starter on the stir plate and realized it....I decided to just let it ride. Well looked in the bucket this morning ( mixed it all up yesterday) and saw this. I am sure it is an infection and it is not an expensive batch of high dollar stuff but that is a BRAND NEW bucket!
