White mold on FAA
My FAA was started a couple of weeks ago. I put a couple of rocks on top of the floating fish, so now it doesn't smell like fish. However, I just checked today and there is white mold things starting. Should I be concerned or do anything?

Thank you! I don't have any LAB in there...well, maybe there is naturally, but I just used fish and sugar - did my recipe miss something?

a lil white mold is fine as long as theres not a rotting smell or black or green mold... a lot of fermentations get a bit of white mold its mostly yeast from what i am to understand and id guess they r feeding on the oils floating on top iv noticed if i put a lot of garlic in a batch of pickles or something the oil floats up and white mold will grow on it sometimes .... if u wanted to u could spoon it off or just mix it in the LAB in there breaking down the fish should take care of it

Thank you! I've seen Chris Trump's skoosh and dash video, however, I don't currently have OHN (only about 8 days in) or IMO4 - that's next spring. I was able to culture an IMO1 indoors, it was pretty pink, but much better than the previous 4 tries - I didn't realize we have a rainy fall, I mean I sort of knew it, but it made collecting outside a challenge. I checked my FAA today and the white bits haven't grown, so that's good. I might put in a skoosh of IMO2 - just to see...
