Mold on my home brew

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 can use a glass carboy instead of the bucket.

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
