What's up guys and gals? About two weeks ago I tossed some grapes and a couple leaves into some starter to catch something wild. There were signs of fermentation and I let it go 12 days, saw visible sediment at the bottom of the mason jar. It smelled and tasted pretty pretty good, a little fruity, a little sour/pickle-like, even kinda smoky to my nose- very much like a stuffed grape leaf (Dolma) tastes and smells. On Friday, I put it in another step up starter ~1L of 1.030-1.040 wort and have let it sit over the weekend, cracking the lid of the jar and swirling every so often to oxygenate. I'm not seeing much fermentation activity, just a ton of stuff in solution and clumped down in the bottom of the jar. Looks like little white flecks, almost like curdled milk. Have I erred somewhere? I wanted to let it ride through the week, and stick it in the fridge and then try a simple saison brew next weekend. Any suggestions or comments or confirmations that all is going well ? I can drop in a pic when I can. Thanks all, have a good Sunday
