My FV was lovingly cleaned including the lid, but I forgot to sanitise the part of the outside of the FV that is actually inside the lid, right at the top.
This means I now have small amounts of what may be dust but frankly looks suspiciously like mould growing between the rim of the FV and the lid.
So, how do I get my beer out safely?
a: Chance it and remove the lid carefully and syphon as usual, having wiped the ming away with a sanitised cloth
b: remove the airlock and hope my syphon tube will fit through the hole?
I am strongly leaning towards option b as long as I can manage it.
