Forgive the obvious beginners error for the subscription request.  I was  
given bad information on how to subscribe to the digest.  Send flames to  
Jack Schmidling (he likes flames ;-) )  No... he wasn;t the one who gave  
me the address. 

 
On a lambic note.   

 
How difficult is it to sanitize the equipment used to make a lambic after  
the lambic has completed?  Is there much danger of infecting later HB  
batches, or to be on the safe side, should the hardware be only used for  
lambics from then on?

Subject: More on Mold 

 
On this mold issue, everyone is thinking high tech.  I would 
suggest removing the air layer the mold needs to survive.  If the 
wort is actively ferementing just set up an airlock.  If not 
add some sugar to get the yeast active and producing CO2. 
Again add the airlock. Once active CO2 is produced scrape 
off all possible mold, then gently mix the wort on top. 
Hopefully this time a protective layer of yeast and dextrin 
(pellicle) will form.

Subject: Mouldy beer 

 
In response to ALG's concern about possible mould on the top of his 
pLambik, I'd like to relate my experience.  I second Rob Thomas' 
thoughts that it may not even be mould.  It might even be Pediococcus 
reacting to oxygen.  On the pKriek I reported a few days ago, the 
airlock evaporated dry once during the 8 months in the carboys and 
a white film covered the cherries.  Initially, I paniced, but then 
I refilled the airlock and in a week or so, the white film went 
away.  The three other carboys are still unbottled (2+ years now) 
and the airlocks on them have gone dry a couple of times.  Each 
time I just refilled the airlock and the white film went away. 
Al.
