Hello all, I just recently brewed my third AG batch, I reused my sanitizing solution, for the first time ever. I use strictly Star San mixed a little over. It was perhaps a week old, sitting in my "Ale Pail" that I use to store it while brewing. I know Star San is supposed to last, so I thought, well why not try it? Now I think I have mold growing. There is a lot of weird pieces floating on top. They are yellowish white. Kind of offwhite. I have no digital camera, unfortunately.
Is it salvagable?
What if I rack it into a sanitary carboy now? It has been sitting for 3 days. It took its sweet time to take off, and when it did, it took off pretty well for about a day. Can I just rack it? Or will the reduction of yeast make it more likely to not survive? How else can I clean it?
I had it coming not making new star san, but I thought I would try it.
Thanks in advance,
Nate
