Or Acetobacter which is pretty much ubiquitous. Not to mention the fact that it's everywhere.It's called wild yeast

Having done some spontaneous fermentation experiments myself, unfortunately acetobacter is more than likely what you will end up with.But hey nothing to loose. Being as you are in the Delaware river basin You might find some previously unidentified.... uhhh somethingOr Acetobacter which is pretty much ubiquitous.

One can only hope though...right?I could call it the Philadelphia Ale Yeast... It yeilds a sort-of lead flavor...with a hint of copper jacket and some residual notes of nitrocellulose. Get too close while its fermenting and it may jump from the carboy and beat you senseless.Or its probably just acetobacter...Having done some spontaneous fermentation experiments myself, unfortunately acetobacter is more than likely what you will end up with.But hey nothing to loose.

I "think" it will eat about anything, but will get to ETOH too. Can't wait for the damn fruit flies to show up again. I get paranoid everytime my wife brings back fruit from the farmer's market on brewday or the day before.I was under the impression that Acetobacter would only vinegarize your beer in the presence of alcohol and oxygen. Is my understanding incorrect?
