Papaya Fermented Fruit Juice
Hello! I did the Papaya Ferment Fruit Juice and at the end some black or brown and white mold appeared on top of it
This is good or bad ? the FFJ still smells like papaya and sorry for the newbie question, if you care to elaborate more it will help a lot.

Great question! I love the appearance of mold because it is a sure sign that the fermentation step is complete. White mold tends to be bacillus subtilis and is nothing to worry about. Black and brown mold... I have no idea. However, I wouldn't worry about it. Scoop it off before you strain the liquid and go on from there. I am sure the juice below is just fine, especially since the mold has only appeared on the surface of the plant material. next time you ferment papaya you can try a little less time. a slight smell of alcohol is a good early indication of the fermentation step being complete and this always occurs before mold.
Happy fermenting! The next step is Supersaturation
