Rice Wine Mold?

[g00nt3r]

I started brewing some rice wine and wanted to see if anyone has some input on this.
There is some white mold? it looks like on the top of the rice and some of it is a dark orangy color. Is that bad? Is it still safe to drink?

Umm, don't you add mold to make it?

Yes, it should be in the yeast balls, I was just looking to see if that was normal for the yeast balls or if something got in there.

I'm not sure, the mesh bag above the surface is promoting surface mold growth.

You might want to check this thread to see if anyone had something similar:

Though, it seems logical that mold would grow since there's mold in the culture.
