If you don't care about the pre-distillation finish, bread yeast will work fine. It won't get as high of an ABV as yeast strains cultivated specifically for brewing, but it will do the job just fine.

Also show us your airlock, faggot. Don't leave that out of the pictures if you are asking for help.

Just buy wine yeast or any brewing yeast. As far as I know bread yest is slow and isn't as tolerant to alcohol, meaning they can't work up a harder alcohol content. If you just leave a barely alcoholic and sweet liquid for a long time at room temprature, then yeah I can see mold forming.

Anyhow OP I wouldn't bother to even risk it, but it's usually pretty apparent by the smell when you open.

My airlock was a pillbottle with a sandwich bag wrapped around it and a 1/4" plastic hose to a water bottle half full of water and a tiny hole in the top. I was drunk when I started the brew, which is why I dumped it

If it's infected there's nothing you can do about it anyway so just wait a while - it might be fine.

I take that size guess back. That soda bottle is bigger than I had originally thought.
