I made a batch of hard cider using only apple juice and ale yeast, no added sugar. A couple of weeks after I had racked it to secondary I noticed something strange on the surface of the cider.
Sorry for the bad picture, in realiry the "crust" is white. It is a flaky layer, about half a millimeter thick, looking almost like candle wax. The cider smells and tastes ok, btw. Is it mould or something else that's nasty?
