Hey everyone,
I'm an absolute novice home brewer. I bought a kit from my local grocery store and I'm trying out brewing at home for the first time. I know using a kit isn't really getting into the real nitty gritty of home brewing, but it's where I'm starting for now - baby steps.
Following the instructions, I've got my batch of beer in 2 big plastic buckets. I'm on day 11 of fermentation (instructions said to let it sit for 5 days, then said to transfer to a separate bucket with an air lock for 10 days - I just kept it in the same bucket, as a friend of mine who brews from home said I didn't need to).
Anyhow, I'm wanting to get people's takes on whether the sediment I'm getting on top is mold, or just leftover bubbles from the yeast. From all the photos I've seen online it looks like it could be normal, but also mold is such a tricky thing that sometimes it's hard to know definitively - so here I am looking to get some seasoned wisdom on whether my batch still looks okay.
Let me know your takes.
