Beer First
With the Adnams yeast, it may be a good idea to top crop the FV possibly three times, 12 hour, 24 hour and 36 hour (use the second crop for your next brew) and see if that kept the excessive krausen at bay a little.

Why do you think that would be the problem? The yeast starters I cultured from it didn't develop the mould and I still have a jar in fridge that seems fine
OK - I must be wrong then. I. didn't know those facts. It would be interesting to see how they do in a wort. Thanks for the info.
Sorry if that came across a bit abrupt was just typing out a quick answer at work, just wondered if you had some experience of using keg yeast that was similar. From what I can gather online it seems to be a fairly safe method of harvesting yeast, just like bottle cultures but on a bigger scale I.e the yeast should be kept sterile under the beer so unlikely to be the source of mould unless it's been left open to the air for a while
