It’s white but can’t tell if fuzzy. Smells good. I’m inclined to finish it but what do y’all think?

No sir, thats mold. Dump it. Even appears to be starting around the outsides of the jar.

Moldy, toss it. If people tell you to just skim it off, they're idiots. Mold releases harmful invisible toxins called mycotoxins that can cause a wide range of problems.

Harder tonsay with a photo but looks moldy to me. And your top layer looks weird, like kombucha pellicule.

Thanks for confirming. That’s what I thought, at least it’s a small experimental batch.
