Hey!
i started a brew the 27th of march, brewed this batch in a 10L bucket wich i filled to 10L but was afraid i overfilled the bucket since the plopping hadent startet yet, when i opened the lid to transfer to a 25L bucket there was mold "floating" on topp of my must/brew ( I opened today, 2nd of april ), it had a green colour and white Circular shape. i quickly removed all i could see, changed to a 25L bucket. but is this brew " Garbage? "
( it was activity in the brew, so think the yeast that i added is alive)
in this brew i had 4kg of honey from a local bee farm, i boiled 4L water and then had meadherb in a bag and soaked it in the boiled water for a "tea" falvor, then just filled with fresh cold water til 10L. then i added around 1g campden and sett for 24 hours, then i added Wyeast yeast food and Wyeast sweet mead smackpack.
i did the hygene steps with PBW and star san. iam 99.99% sure i got everything cleaned. what whent wrong? can i salvage the brew? or just restart?
