Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Help! Galloping senility is nigh! For those who still don't know what mould looks like, nip over here. Unfortunately my Camera is in dry-dock so I can't show you all a perfect, textbook example. It didn't " Fall upon a midnight clear " but thusly did it occur:- About 4 days ago, just after the height of the Festive I did a brew. A rather protracted affair, due to messing around festively, in which no steps were missed (Or so I thought) and it was not left uncovered for an inordinate length of time. This morning I gently lifted the dangly edge of the, rubber-band held kitchen towel which prevents a good view of the surface. Aaaaagh!!!!!!!!! Mould!!! A text book example--> little circular patches, as if drawn by a pair of compasses, some white and most penicillin-like. The reason became obvious.>>>>>Where the hair-oil's me SCOBY??? I can vouch for the fact that no SCOBY probably also means no starter. What is ogling at my from the work surface is neither more nor less than cold tea. It is also the ONLY mould attack I've ever had, so believe the gurus when they tell you that, in all probability, the presence of both SCOBY and starter acidity prevent mould. Needless to say I muttered things like " Oh dear me " , " shucks " , " Tut-tut-tut " and expressed similar sentiments. It's a good job my last brew was a gallon and I've some lying on My disgruntle-meter is W a y off scale, , N.England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
