I have 5 gallons of a dark ale which just finished fermenting. However over the course of a day, some ugly looking black and grey mold grew on top. There were two nodes and lines coming out from them. And an overall film.
So I scooped the mold off the top.
Here starts the problem, I added POTASSIUM SORBATE and CAMBDEN TABLETS, the recommended amount to stop fermentation and preserve.
My plan was to use carbonation tablets instead of yeast and sugar. I was unaware that the tablets just contain dextrose for the yeast and yeast is still vital to the carbonation.
So how do I get this beer to carbonate? Is there anyway to get ride of the preservatives, re-pitch the yeast and bottle condition?
Any comments are greatly appreciated.
