I started a small sour culture/starter with dregs from a few Russian River/Jolly Pumpkin beers that I've fed a couple times over the past three months. It's starting to develop a horse blanket aroma, and I don't mean like you usually see in reviews, I mean like an actual sweaty, barny horse funk. Nasty. I haven't tasted it, but even if it tastes great, with this aroma I wouldn't want to drink any of it on a regular basis.
On the other hand, maybe that's how cultures smell for a while? I have no experience with this. Should I dump it, or let it "mature" for another few months and see where that puts me?
