Hi all,
I started this beer a couple weeks ago, and added five pounds of apricots five days in the fermentation. Before adding them to primary, I let them soak in Starsan for twenty minutes. Its been a week since I added the apricots, and it looks like there may be mold on them. The gravity is down to 1.013 from 1.068. The beer tastes good, though it is very lactic. I can't tell if the white stuff of the apricots is mold or just yeast, or perhaps just the way apricots look when they soak in beer for a week. Anyone have any experience here? Is this safe to drink?
