not sure where to put this since it isnt exactly cider(?).
I started this cran-pineapple.. i've been calling it kindacider(?).. about 8 days ago with just cranberry and pineapple juice and pitched montrachet yeast. It took off within 4 hours and went like mad for 3 or 4 days. After it slowed I noticed this: (terrible picture of white stuff growing on the surface)

and today this:

it also smells like dead crawfish ass (sulphury rotten egg nasty etc).

so what is this crap around the neck of my bottle? bad bacteria? termites (haha) ?

Mmm. The smell typically comes from stressed yeast, if i understand correctly. Did you take gravity yet?
