I’ve got a carboy on the floor full of a neglected beer. Its developed a slight cap of mold on the top, but it still seems to taste good, and its at its target gravity. Is this mold a bad sign?
It was in Primary for 2-3 weeks, and Secondary for another 3. I’m not sure whether I should keg it, toss it, or bottle a couple. What’s the worst that could happen? A case of the skitters?
What would you do? Its an IPA. With a pretty high IBU. I guess I’ll just have to clean and sanitize all my vessels again.
At least it doesn’t taste meaty 🙂
I’ve posted to BeerAdvocate about the issue. More comments available here:

The beer tastes fine, as far as I can tell, but my stomach was a bit testy last night. I’ll have to try again tonight. Science never rests.
