Hey Chile-heads!
Need some advice on the white stuff growing on the top
of my fermenting habs.
The process I used: I finely chopped about 2 gallons of
habs (after chopping) -- 80% of my hab crop. I did not
have any mason jars -- I did have a 2.5 gallon glass carboy.
The habs were poured into the carboy 1/2 inch at a time
and each layer was covered with non-iodine salt. This
layering was done until all the habs were in the carboy.
About 10 layers of habs and salt. The carboy was sealed
with a pressure bung! After about 3 weeks some sort
of white growth has started growing.
Question: Is this normal? If not what should I do!
Can my habs be rescued?
