Green fuzzy mold

[Nemanach]

I have this growing on the top of a Flanders red I started June 29th. I mashed high with a small amount of aged hops.

Copitched wyeast 1275, roeselare and a built up starter of a local brewery’s Flanders red, Indeed. The built up starter had no mold and tasted like good sour beer.

Primary for 2 weeks or so then transfer to PET carboy for a planned 18-24 month secondary.

I don’t have a lot of experience with sours but I’ve never seen a green fuzzy pellicle which makes me think mold.

Would you let be and just let it do it’s thing?

Skim it off?

Accept my losses, dump it and start over?

It's mold

Time to dump.

I was hoping there was going to be some dissent saying it was fine. Down the drain it goes.

Yeah mold. What it grows a sweater there ain't no more saving it.
