I have a hale gallon jar of hab mash (freminting?) which had grown some
white stuff on top surface only after about a week. I scraped it all off,
added more salt and heated it to kill any bad guys. The salt contration is
more than 20%. I added no water to the mash just salt. The white stuff came
back in a few days. There has been no noticable fizzing of bubbles
gererated science August when I started it. Should'nt there be noticable
gas release during the fermation process?
