I brewed a Witbier. I used dry orange peels and fresh peels too. It went through primary and secondary fermentation for about a week. It is has been in the bottles for about 4 days. I opened one just to see how it was. It has a nice beer taste but it taste more like a sweet orange champagne...

I went to bottle my beer today and noticed that there is mold in the airlock... I used vodka in my airlock and there isn't any mold that I can see growing in my beer. It's currently in a Better Bottle Carboy and I'm not sure if I should go ahead a bottle it... I don't want to bottle it and wait...

I brewed a Dunkelweizen a at the tail end of October. I'm sure I did everything right until bottling... It was moved into a secondary fermenter after a week or so in the primary fermentor, only I STILL HAVEN"T Bottled it!!!... Is it bad... It looks fine... hasn't been exposed to light. I don't...
