Mold in secondary?

Bewbzout · Apr 2, 2012

Well im not sure what it is but there are like 3 1/2" spots that look like mold in the secondary. The beer is a honey brown that i haven't had the time to keg. Its been it the secondary for about 6 moths with an airlock on it. Any ideas? Thanks

Got a picture? Does it taste off?

Whats the ABV i'd say. 6 months aging should be safe for 7%- 8% beers and up.

Kinda hard to see. Havent tasted it yet but smells fine.

Bewbzout · Apr 2, 2012

ABV is 5.2

I don't see anything...

Not the best picture but there is one right under the bubble on the top left and one on the right side. Basically the 2 white spots. They almost look like small balls of cotton.

Could be some funk, time to taste it.

If it tastes ok, I'd rack from the middle. Do you bottle or keg? I've kegged a suspect batch with no issues.

I keg. After i taste and its ok, just keg everything besides the very bottom and top?

It looks like there's a giant bug's head peeking out at the bottom of that shot.
