So I brewed a second batch of a session IPA. Fermented at 66 deg for about 10 days and then dropped in an oz of dry pellet hops in a nylon bag weighted with a SS spoon and tied off with some unwaxed dental floss. I returned the primary to the fermentation chamber and raised the temp to 74 deg to finish off for 7 days. When I open the fermenter to remove the bag for cold crashing it was still floating and had what looks like white mold on the bag and in the Krausen. The beer is still crashing and I intend to transfer to a keg leaving the top layer behind.
Does this look like mold? If so I obviously picked it up somewhere in my process. The bag, spoon, and floss were boiled for 15 min before dry hopping.
Any thoughts on the white residue?
