Hello everyone.
I am brewing my 4th batch of Makgeolli and have had luck so far. Its always been good. However, this batch has me wondering if I have somehow contaminated the batch. I'm not sure what to look for but here's what I see happening.
There is something like scum floating all over the surface of the batch as it ferments. I just make it last night and I saw something like scum right away. It isn't any particular colour and the batch smells as it should. Actually everything else seems fine. It's bubbling away like it should. The only thing I did different was this time I am using Wine Makers Yeast, not Bakers Yeast. Any thoughts? Have you ever had a batch go bad? Can I post pictures of the batch to this forum?
