Hey guys...longtime lurker first time poster. I know theres a lot of other threads like this, and I've looked at a whole bunch of them, but I think the only way I can get a definitive answer is to post my own pictures.
I've been making a Ranger IPA clone (though through my own mistakes not nearly as high alcohol %) and it smelled really good. Fast forward a bit and its been in the rack for 4 weeks or so, and I was thinking of bottling today and I notice something that looks like mold to me on the top of the beer. It looks like some kind of milky goo that is kinda stringy I guess. Also in one part, theres white dots that look like some kind of solid powdery substance.
I took some pics. I know they aren't the best particularly because its taking a pic of beer in the rack so the glass distorts, but I think you can see it pretty well.
What do you guys think? Should I bottle it and just leave the top part/moldy part? Is this even worth doing? I know chances are it is tasteless but drinking moldy beer seems unhealthy... or am I completely being paranoid and its something else (I doubt this)? Any input is helpful. Thanks!
