Yesterday I finished brewing an APA with a OG of 1.053. I pitched a 2L starter of yeast harvested from 2 bottles of AleSmith XPA (guessing it's WLP001). Within 3 hrs of pitching there were small bubbles in the blow off vessel. The bubbles have become constant- like an aquarium pump is running in there. Occasionally there is a larger bubble more characteristic of the activity I usually get from my fermentor.
I am concerned that through the 5 days of harvesting yeast there was an infection- I have not had one before. Does mold, wild yeast, or bacterial produce CO2 like that?
Is this a symptom of too much yeast?
I guess my problems could be worse. Thanks for any help you can offer.
