Hello all,

I’m new to home brewing beer (I have made mead before) and I noticed possible mold on the krausen.

Is this a problem or anything to worry about?

This is Day 4 of primary fermentation.
It has been hot and high humidity outside here but very cool and dark where I keep the carboy.
I’m brewing a brown ale called Kentucky Common, an old recipe.

Thank you all very much!

I recently converted my grandfather’s Eastern European-origin achievement into the English-style, (basing it on/using elements of Sodacan’s amazing work).

I’m American and looked at other American family’s CoAs on Wikimedia for inspiration.
However, I am confused why nearly all Americans/non-titled Canadians have a gold-gilded squire/gentleman helmets.

Why not simply steel, like is common elsewhere in the Anglosphere for anybody “below knight”?
Is it stylistic?
