Long time lurker first time poster. If this post belongs somewhere else or has been done to death, well… I’m sorry … I’m… I’m fat.
Is this infected? Will I die or get kidney failure if I drink it (dealbreaker) OR will I just get the trots (kinda negotiable).
I made a cyser:
- 1 gallon store bought apple (treetop)
- yeast nutrient
- pectin enzyme
- 2 cups honey
- no og reading
- sanitized everything with Star San in a spray bottle
- temp control was an ice bath. Managed to keep it under 75 but i had to baby sit it.
red flags:
- what looks like a pelecile or yeast raft started to form towards the end of primary. Creamy colored, size of a 50 cent piece, 1 large bubble in the center. Dispersed when agitated but reformed hours later. No blue, black, green. Airlock smelled sweet and boozy. Smelled ok.
- cold crashed and forgot about it for 3 days. Yeast raft / possible pelecile gone. Noticed strange, clots with whisps that stirred up when moving the jug to my counter. Those have settled. Smells damn good.
So that’s all the info I can recall.
I’ve read a lot of internets and YouTube’s that say there’s infections that can really ruin your day and I’m super green with mead and cider. This is my what, 8th gallon maybe?
Appreciate any and all help.
2 pics attached. One with the floater dead center under the stopper (crappy pic, sorry) and the other with the whisps.
