yes its my first brew made with pears i picked. im using a 30 litre bucket with about 5 inches of space at the top. i dont think too much oxygen is a factor as it is sealed well.
the photo was taken on the 10th day of fermentation.
it had just started to smell like cider, started bubbling and developed this heavy foam, with some small pieces of mold like you find on bread.
theres no unusual smells but i was concerned about the mold even though some say its normal and most of it is yeast, it does look like pellicle as you say.
Others have told me to just scrape it off and see how it develops, so i did that but i also heard that i shouldnt do that as it can remove yeast.
i had been stiring it everyday but i stopped as people where saying that can cause over exposure to oxygen. im not sure whether to stir or not.
is there anything i can do to save it? |
