So as many of you probably do, I collect all remaining wort including trub in a separate container after filling the cube/FV, then when trub settles out, use the cleared wort for starters.
I have had a bottle of such wort sitting for a few weeks now waiting to be used, and the other day I noticed a krausen at the top of the bottle. I thought I had sealed it reasonably well at 90+ degrees, but I guess only so much can be expected from a normal plastic bottle lid.
Is there a chance I can extract a unique yeast strain from it once its done? Or is it likely to be a combo of bugs that will only cause problems? I figure this is how people first started fermenting beer way back when....?
