Mold

[bil2112l]

I recently brewed a batch of beer that I split three ways to test three Brett strains as primary fermenters. I harvested some of each yeast slurry and rinsed them. They have been in my refrigerator for about 3 weeks now. The Brett Lambicus slurry has developed what appears to be white mold on the top of the liquid. Is this a sign of infection? Should I throw it away?

A pic would be good here.

Looks like this.

Yeah looks like some mold in there. Mold is where I dump. Try to see if someone else has a different opinion because I could be wrong. But it looks like there is some green in there and green is bad.

I seldom dump liquid, but when in doubt with the mold, toss it. You can always get more yeast.

Thanks. A new vial of yeast costs than five gallons of beer.
