Hi everyone!
I received my 2nd order from AHS the other day and decided to brew it today. Started was made last night, grain just came out of the pot and I was ready to pour the extract into my brewpot. When I opened the little bucket they send you, the first thing I discovered was mold! Small little bubbles/spots swimming on top and sitting inside the lid. I was slightly irritated to say the least. Well, honestly I didnt really have a choice since all other ingredients besides hops were already wasted so I scooped the mold off a little bit and poured all extract into the brewpot.
Has anyone tried to brew with infected (guess you can say that) extract before? There was not a whole lot, but enough to see it right away and to get my worried. Mold does not belong in extract. I wanted to take a picture but couldnt find my camera.
Im not trying to rant against AHS, even though it was only my 2nd order and the 2nd order with an issue (the first time I found a screw in my extract), but I am really irritated about the mold. Does the heat kill the mold? Im wondering if I should even made an attempted to ferment or just dump everything.
Thanks
