mold on beer

Posted by: tombr, Thursday, August 26, 2010

Hello. I made a beer from grain in late July. I just opened the primary and found a huge piece of mold floating on top. It came off in one piece. While I am fairly certain I know the answer to this one, is it still drinkable? It still smells fine. Anyone else have any experience with this?
Thanks,
