Haven't done a SG reading yet hopefully will do one tommorow then chill it down.
The fact it wasnt weird/sour etc made me think it may be a brewing yeast but I have only ever pitched yeast inside (the bottle was left outside).
I do ferment in a fridge out there, but the yeast would have to get out of the airlock and out the fridge door and traveled about 3 meters then into the bottle.
Only other way I can think that brewing yeast got in is that I do pour my trub down the drain.. but it would have to have hung around the drain for about 2 weesk then got out up into the air and into the bottle.
I also usualy pour starsan and napisan down the drain after it so not sure how well it would survive in there.
It's a myth that all wild yeast are sour.
Natural/wild ferments are quite common in winemaking and the end result is not weird or sour.
