that's good it's still working. It will fall to the bottom. When it's done fermenting just rack it into your boiler leaving a cpl of inches in the bottom of fermenter

"If it's a light powdery dusting over the top, it'll probably be ok. Actually, I'd distill it no matter what, just for the experience. I've tasted distillate from some moldy batches that was ok. You never really know what part of the flavor will come through the still, but you sure as hell know that live mold spores won't.

If this is the batch that registered 1.000 SG, then there wasn't enough sugar to produce enough ethanol to keep mold from happening."
