“Something Infected My Plum Cider”

In this video I attempt to make a homemade plum cider using fresh plums and a simple fermentation setup — but part way through fermentation something strange started growing in the fermenter. What began as a normal cider experiment may have turned into a wild yeast or acetobacter infection, so this video became more of a fermentation investigation than a how-to guide. I document the process, show the signs of infection, examine the surface growth up close, and talk through what may have caused it. Was it wild yeast? Acetobacter? A pellicle? Or just an unusual fermentation? If you're interested in cider making, home fermentation, brewing science, wild microbes, or fermentation failures, this one is for you. #cider #homebrewing #fermentation #wildyeast #plumcider #brewing #winemaking #acetobacter
