Alright.. I'm not sure this is the best place for this but, Lets start here,
Hello all!
I've made 3 batches of extract brew 2 of them came out without any issues! (a rye porter and holiday spiced red ale)
But this is where the issue comes in.
The last kit I had was a maibock lager
The brew day was all done the same as previously, and everything was sanitized with star san
Its been sitting in a cellar for 2 weeks and it was a little cold up here, so the yeast has all dropped out but hasn't fermented anything, and there are 2 or 3 islands of mold on top (no larger than a dime)
What I'm wondering now is this. Do I have any chance of saving this brew? I was thinking of fishing out the few islands of mold and reboiling then repitching a new pack of yeast.
Or should I call this my first failure, throw it out and soldier on?
What do you all think? I will get photos soon if that will help.
Thank you all for your help and sorry for the long post!
