Mould in fermenter lid
Hi all,
I put a Mangrove Jack's IPA a couple of weeks ago and bottled it yesterday. when I cleaned the plastic fermenter last night I noticed what looks like black mould in the thread on the fermenter.
I recall that when I put the ingredients into the fermenter and put the lid on, the rubber seal kept falling out and into the mix. This means the seal and thread would have got wet with the ingredients (including yeast).
Everything was properly sanitised and the beer appeared ans smelled fine when I bottled it. The staring SG was 1060 and the end was 1005.
Any advice? Would it be safe to try the beer after carbonisation in the bottles is complete?
Thanks

Yea mate is safe to try, if it tastes good just drink it. It wont hurt you.... much. But seriously if it tastes good and is properly carbonated i would refrigerate to slow any further issues. imo

Shouldn't be a problem, nowadays, I've had mould in my fermenter prior to filling, a clean and sanitise seemed to fix it, and no off flavours.
