For the third of fourth time I've found some mold in the gravity sample that I've pulled from the spigot of a batch that had been fermenting for about two weeks. I'm sure it's not from the test tube.
After pitching I usually spray into the spigot with starsan and then put a layer of aluminum foil over the spigot to protect it but still, a few times there was some mold inside.... I guess it comes from the last sample that I take before fermentation to measure gravity...
Has anyone had a similar problem? what to do? I thought that by spraying starsan inside the spigot (while it's turned off) it should be fine...
I don't think the batches are ruined as the mold doesn't seem to get inside and gets washed out when taking the sample....
