I am making two 2L yeast starters for my Oktoberfest coming up since i don't have a 5L flask or anything (that and the packets are old).
Anyway, both flasks were cleaned and sanitized before use. Both had 1.035 OG at the start and have been fine. I topped them both with aluminum foil. The one is doing just fine. The other looks like this-
It's a fine black ring (sorry for the quality.) At first I thought of a dreaded fruit fly infestation but it looks just like little shavings and almost like a normal krausen. The DME I used was Briess light so I don't know why it would ever look like that.
Do I have to worry about this? I was gonna cold crash, decant, and pitch. I think it should be fine (doesn't look like an infection) but not sure if anyone else has seen this.
