Oily Film on Top

[Maynardb]

Hello all,

I was going to bottle my mead today and I noticed this oily film on top.

For background:

It was in primary for ~3 months It's been in secondary for ~6 months.


I didn't really check on it, I had starsan in the airlock.


When I went to go at it today I noticed the starsan was at a lower level and not covering the holes in the airlock, so oxygen 100% got in. Should I throw it out or is it still good?

If it smells and tastes good (or decent), I sure wouldn't dump. Just rack from below the film. Good luck!

I would taste it. You may be able to improve the flavor profile with a little tweaking.
