Hey guys, I've got a bit of a head scratcher I'm trying to figure out right now. I made a starter 2 days ago and brewed my beer yesterday. I wanted to wait for my starter to finish up doing its thing before crashing, decanting, and pitching it, so I left my beer sans yeast in the carboy over night, and all day today. I went to pitch the yeast tonight and to my surprise, I see bubbles in the airlock with alarming regularity... So I remove the carboy cover to find a layer of foam on the surface with small bits of hop trub clinging to it. To me, it seems like an open and shut case of an infected batch (which would be my first ever), but I'm pretty thorough with my sanitizing, so I'm hoping someone might be able to offer a different explanation? What's done is done though, so now it's just curiosity. Time to relax and have a homebrew!
