I removed the mold and racked it. I am concerned it may make someone sick. What are your thoughts on that?

I brewed a Kolsch from Northern Brewer. I thought raspberry would be a nice adjunct flavor. I lightly boiled 1 pound of frozen raspberries. I added this to the primary fermenter 10 days ago when the temp of the wort dropped to 70 degrees. Tonight I was going to rack to the secondary and I...

Thanks so much.

Yes I have a secondary. No I didn't get a hydrometer, but I can get one locally.

It's been in for 5 days now. I am brand new to this, I love it.... I don't know how to measure the gravity and what to look for. A real newbie sorry.

The yeast type I cant remember, I bought it at my local brew shop.

Yes, by activity I meant lots of bubbling in the airlock. It was to be a honey pale form the White House, Obama's beer.

I got anxious and pitched the yeast into the bucket when the wort was still quite warm, around 90 degrees. It fermented like crazy for 2-3 days then stopped. It has been in the fermenter 5 days with little to no activity. This was to be a honey pale ale but it is quite dark.
