Hey all,
So I brewed my first batch of a Witbier (UFO White style) and I think I may have messed up to the point my beer is ruined.
When I bottled it about 2 weeks ago, I made two mistakes, one of which is less minor. The less minor mistake I made was not putting the priming sugar in the bottling bucket first and the second was not siphoning into the bucket, but rather pouring regularly and adding the priming sugar box on top and stirring. What worries me is that not siphoning caused it to get contaminated.
Furthermore, I checked in on it last weekend, I noticed some white stuff on the side of the bottles. It didn't move around at all. It just stayed where it was when I rotated the bottle. My question is, is this most likely mold or just sediment? It smells normal, tasted normal (my friend said "unique" taste, but not "off") and looked normal.
Should I be worried?
