Dumb things

Hope everyone has had a great start to the new year.

Well I’ve had a brew going for 6 days now.

I dry hopped today, and thought I’d take hydrometer reading.

Poured enough for a reading and sitting on top was some some pieces of green mould.

My reaction was ffs what have I done ?

The only thing different I did was put a small black rubber cap over the tap on the fermenter.

I thought this would keep nastiness out.

Im a dumb ass !

Mould formed from heat and a small amount of beer left in the tap from my OG reading.

ive removed the cap now and sprayed no rinse steriliser up the tap and around it.

im fairly sure I’ll be ok I might just chuck a 100 ml first before I bottle.

Just can not believe how dumb I was !

Cheers
