Hello,
I pitched my first batch of cider today around noon (pasteurized, cloudy grocery store cider + Lalvin D47 yeast) with a healthy fear of contamination - PBW, then a nice soak in star san for all of my tools. When I pitched the yeast there was a little bit stuck in the neck of the jug I wasn't able to swirl out very well, and I just noticed (about 11 hours later) some fuzzy white spots in the neck that I'm pretty sure are just the bits of yeast I missed (can be seen in both pics as two small spots diagonal to each other).
I'm fully aware I'm micromanaging my cider, but if anyone could confirm/deny this is what stray yeast grows into, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
