There is wild yeast in the air all around us, some good and some bad. This mixture would pick up wild yeast and ferment. The reason you pitch a packet of yeast is to make sure you don't get off flavors from a bad strain of wild yeast. I just finished a corn/grain ,50% each, batch and did notice a difference in the aroma and taste over a sugar wash. Jury is still out if it is better or not. The yield was sure low.
