Mold? No!

Earlier today, a friend of mine asked me how I was doing my secondary, and if I've been checking for mold. Intrigued, I did some googling and couldn't find anything about mold problems with using fruit in a secondary. When I couldn't find anything, he linked me to the thread where first heard about mold. Curious, I whipped up some sanitizer and cracked open my secondary, only to find a light layer of krausen and a wonderful smell of yeast - no mold here! Whew! Christmas Ale is still on target for a bottling in just over a week and a half.

Mead supplies came today, and I'm hoping to bottle the cider Friday and start the mead either then or the following weekend.
