Default Mold????

I went to bottle my beer today and noticed that there is mold in the airlock... I used vodka in my airlock and there isn't any mold that I can see growing in my beer. It's currently in a Better Bottle Carboy and I'm not sure if I should go ahead a bottle it... I don't want to bottle it and wait two weeks and waste bottles on ****ty beer... what do you think? It smells okay... haven't tasted it...

The great thing about an airlock is it is an "exit only" device.

You'll be fine.

Until you push on the bucket lid and let go...
Anyways, if you don't see anything in your beer then you should be fine. Never dump a batch because of an assumption.
