Is there a date on the malt?? I'm assuming LME, anything over 6 months old will probably give you some flavors that you don't want.. The fuzzy stuff on top would kill it for me. If the hops have not...

IMHO, you have added food for the yeast that you have to run, not walk, out and buy.
The yeast should be added below 80F. (Maybe 90)
