so after a week of oaking my first large batch i take a look just to see if the sack of oak has sunk yet. i went and got a pair of nylons and marbles to use to hold the oak chips. soaked them in star san for about 30mins then put it in carboy and racked over top. well now it has been a week and there is the most finest white layer on the top of the mead and i go "oh ****" so i clean out another carboy and right as i type this i am racking it into a clean carboy. is this going to help me or is it dead as soon as the infection happens? should i wait it out, i'm going to just to see if it comes back. i just hope it didn't get wrecked...i hope i clean everything thoroughly, so i don't know where it would have come from. an help out there?? and i didn't take a picture you wouldn't have been about to see it is was such a think skin on the top. i thought maybe the oak chips could have caused it through their oils or something like that heres hoping!!!
