Not So Old with small bit of mold

[Willie3]

OK here something that I came across in my last brew. I had a 6.5# conatiner of dark LME and a 1.5# container of Amber LME. They were sitting in my cubbard in my basement for appx 1.5 months. I finally got some time to brew and I prepared a batch of Stout. I called it Musconectcong Magic. The musconectcong is a river that runs through my town. Anyway when I went to open both the Dark and Amber I found it to have mold. Not much but some. I figured what the heck everything is ready to go let me just scrape the mold out and a boil will kill off anything else.

Do I need to worry? Everything went according to plan and fermented fine. Smells great looks even better and is now ready to be racked to the secondary.

I do not want to tell anyone about this because they will not drink it if they knew. I have a feeling that there will be no ill effects from this but I want to know if anyone experienced this before?

You shouldn't be concerned... everything was killed in the boil. I've read that mold inside bottled beer can be scraped off the top and the beer should still be good!!!!

Time to rename it "Moldy Musconectcong Magic"

A one hour boil will not only kill the mold, it will kill any spores.

I'll draw the line on moldy beer though.

Once I was told that my beer came from mold
and as long as it was cold and the taste's as good as gold
no problems can be told as you enjoy a nice cold bold stout from mold.

There once was a man from Dadoosee
he liked to eat lots of ...

I just remember a bad science fiction story where the guy drank some moldy beer and turned into one of the mushroom people. Had to live in the basement like he was a gamer or something.
