I was straining my wiskey mash last night i ended up cracking the shits and poured it all back in the fermenter and puting it in my warm fridge .
Today thinking i could atemt straining again noticed its foaming dose that mean i have a infection?

I would say your fermenting from wild yeast there mate, if your incredibly lucky it will turn out ok, more likely your about to make vinegar.

You could pitch you yeast now in a large quantity to try and beat it and run it through the still as soon as it's finished.
