Mold on my home brew
 

I went to transfer the beer into the carboy and I found this:

It was very slow to ferment - about a month!

I used White Labs Dusseldorf yeast.

Also, I sterilize, not just sanitize.

I haven't opened the fermentation bucket to peak - not even once!

What am I supposed to do? :sh

Yogurt beer!

Not sure if you can save it. Let me check.

Re: Mold on my home brew
 

Unfortunately you'll have to dump it. Looks like you got an infection.

Re: Mold on my home brew
 

Even if you could save it, would you want to? Best start fresh D.

Dump a tube of this in there, bottle it and mail it to Nick, he'll drink anything...

This is why I dont use buckets as a primary fermenter. I have made over 50 batches and have had only one infection, and that was in a bucket. The tiny-est scratch in the plastic will harbor an infection.

You could always just bottle it "experimentally" and see what happens.

Is beer supposed to be lumpy? :D

Re: Mold on my home brew
 

What do you use?

Thanks all.

Dang D... I don't know a thing about home brewing, but I am sorry that happened to ya!!

Re: Mold on my home brew
 

You can use a glass carboy instead of the bucket.

Re: Mold on my home brew
 

I dont see anything wrong. :confused:

Re: Mold on my home brew
 

Use a glass carboy or one of these, just dont ever use a scrub brush to clean, a good soak in Oxyclean Free is all you need

I'll get a second glass carboy. I've made several batches with the plastic bucket and have had no problems. Oh well, I think it will be a good receptacle for brining turkey.

Don't go crazy and dump that yet. It's likely just small colonies of yeast. The best way to tell is open it up and take a sniff. If it smells nasty, then you've got an infection. If it smells normal for a fermented wort, then finish the job and bottle it.
