Comment on Wild ferments?

I did some wild ferments few years ago. The main criteria is if it smells and tastes good.
-
lactic smell and taste (like yogurt or cheese) is fine but for some too acidic
-
alcohol don’t smell that strong, it is usually just a hint
-
fruity and funky notes are good
-
vinegar smell is bad, it means you made vinegar
-
bad smell and taste like bitter, chemicals or rotting this can be dangerous, but it’s disgusting so you don’t drink it
-
…
Try it and you will see.
