Spontaneous Mead Starter for Beer?

Postby BlochBaron on Mon Sep 09, 2013 4:54 pm

I'm just wondering, with all the interest in spontaneously fermented beers, if anyone has experimented with getting a raw-honey mead starter going and then dumping it into cooled grain-based wort?

It would solve the problem of where you get wild yeast for "wild" beer in pitchable quantities.

I guess it boils down to what flavors the bacteria and yeasts from the honey are going to create when they eat the malt sugars.

Is this crazy? I can't find any information on it in the regular brewing forums.
