I've got a vow renewal coming up and was thinking a light beer that any one will enjoy so I figured a vanilla honey cream ale. This is what I've put together. I haven't made my own batch yet so this is my initial.
I am just to inexperienced for them my last one was ok but this one is even worse. It has the hefe taste but a pretty bad after taste of like Tylenol or something I just kegged so I'll give it a week but I think I'm done with them for now.
I'm fixing to brew but I saw some white mold on the Inside of my pot what does white mold mean? And can I just scrub it with sanstar then boil some water in it for a few mins and be fine to use?
Could I keg my beer then fill up a bottle and cap it or use one of those pop top bottles or do I have to rack it and use some fizz drops? It would just be so much easier to pore from kegerator.

What's the longest you can ferment I've been thinkin about doing a batch but I'm gonna be deployed for 2 months is that ok for leaving a beer to ferment that long?
So I would like to get two kits to brew but one says it has a primary and secondary fermentation do I really need the secondary or can I just ferment it for 3 or 4 weeks in primary then bottle for 2 months wile I'm deployed? It's a caribou slobber that I'm looking at on northernbrewer.
