Help--Ginger Beer questions

[Guest guest]

Today is day 7 on my second attempted batch of ginger beer. The

first batch got spots of mold on the glass above the bug (none on the

bug) so I threw it out and started over. I'm hoping to have a couple

of gallons to take with us on vacation. I'm using the NT recipe.

This time I have a bit of a film over the top. There is a tiny, tiny

bit of mold on the rim of the jar in one little spot. The bug

fizzes. There have been little white things floating in it for

several days. No mold at all elsewhere, and the little bit there is

just appeared this morning.

Is it worth saving? Is there supposed to be film on it? What about

the little white floaters?

Thanks in advance,

Tracey
