    White mold?

    Wonderful. Thanks. I will wear a face shield when I handle. My G Paw used to make root beer when I was a squirt. He would put it in the hothouse to carbonate. Quite often they would pop very loud and more than once he ended up cut from a exploding bottle but he always wore a face shield.

    White mold?

    Sorry. I already bottled it. I wasn't thinnking. It looked milky and very thin kind of like when you boil milk too hot and a skin develops on the surface. It had a couple of bubbles. I strained it through a paint strainer and dropped a cup of Vodka in it. Currently it is bubbling away

    White mold?

    I left my wort in the primary for approx. 90 days. When I went to bottle there was a white, skinlike layer on top of the wort. I bottled it anyway. Can anyone tell me what the white milky skinlike substance is?

    Not rude a at all. I do. But I'll tell ya, i just kinda go to yhe grain house and grab a bag and start filling with various things go home and throw it all together and brew it. For the most part people love the results albeit there's no repeat performance bc i never revord it. I misplace stuff...

    Thanks. I usually just look at the abv part. Now that I have it in front of me. Original grav was 1.154 or approx 20% finish was well between the 3 and 4% marks. Not sure how to read that mark. I took auto shop vs chemistry.

    Og was I guess I typed it wrong it was almost 2.0 to start and at finish it was .054 as in just above 0 using a hydrometer. I fermented at 70f for about 7 weeks or so. Watched the sg.

    Sorry I call the bottling part secondary. Starting sg 1.97 fg 0.54 I boiled the corn sugar 5 mins and bottled. There is a tiny bit of carbonation but not much. It's in my basement on the cement slab in San Francisco and the temp is approx 40f could this be it? But I bottled some ipa same time...

    Secondary ferment is taking forever. Beer is still flat. Has been bottled over 45 days now

    Still in secondary fermentation and not ready but I popped a bottle prematurely and it is delicious. I think I'll hold out a couple weeks on the yeast from now on.

    So far it tastes slightly sour and not much airlock activity. Is it possible the wort was too cold for the yeast?
