[COHO] Unsanitary carboy

[Paul DeLeone]

good arguement for starters and pitchable yeast counts. the longer the 
yeasty take hold the better the chance of infection. sounds like a roll of 
the dice. let it ride and see what turns out. maybe there is a batch of wide 
yeast floating around and you have the next great 
culture...................probly not, but good luck with it
