Help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Making Apple Cider Vinegar

[MamaTiger]

We pressed the apples and put them into a clean crock and covered it, to allow it to ferment first, per Carla Emory's Ency of Country Living.

 

Now it is *covered* in mold, a thick layer of it.

 

I assume we got the wrong bacteria...but can we salvage this by skimming the mold off and adding the mother now?

 

Next time I will add the mother earlier...
