Was running out of Kveik yeast (my last brewing yeast), and too impatient to wait for more to arrive so decided to co-pitch the one gram I had left with some sourdough starter.

What does anybody think will happen?

The starter has worked well at fermenting strawberry wine in the past, but it was looking a lot less healthy this time.

Honestly this was an impulse decision to do this but I will be interested to see what happens. Maybe it will sour? That would be exciting.

    Too impatient? For a hobby where you wait weeks or months, what’s a couple of days?

    I would have made a starter with the kveik.

    Sourdough starter will be interesting! Will it have a sourdough flavor? Sounds like a fun experiment.

      I did make a starter with the Kveik. I gave it a couple hours to try and reproduce.

      I will be going away in less than two weeks so wanted to get this done or at least underway before I left.
