Bad Goat Brewing wrote:Yesterday was brew day. We pitched the lacto starter in 2 of 3 carboys of the wort. Today the carboys are bubbling away, so either my lactobacillus got infected with yeast, or WY5335 will produce a krausen like foam and bubble.
A friend took the third carboy home to pitch and pitched yogurt whey instead of WY 5335. He's going to bring it back when it's time pitch the WY1007. could be interesting.
