Ok so ive been brewing beer for a couple of years and have done mead and a few batches of wine all of which turned out as expected. I started two batches of cider one sweet one dry. The first batch finished up i added potassium sorbate to kill off the yeast and then back sweetened with brown sugar and molasses it tasted perfect warm and still. After i adjusted it to taste i kegged it and force carbonated it. After it was done i sampeled it and it lost alot of the flavor and actually turned a little sour. Does anyone have any ideas why this would have changed?
My second batch finished in the primary a week ago and i racked it to secondary. Today i noticed some white scum on top and upon closer examination the entire top has a coat of white spider web looking mold. Ive never seen such a thing. Im very careful about sanitising. Do you all think its garbage or is it still salvageable?
Thanks in advance for your help.
