One is from my first batch of the season. (almost gone now) and the second photo is something I'd never experienced before. It's a Graff Cider. I started with a California Common Lager Recipe and topped it up with 2 gallons of apple juice. (My "Steamed Apple") You can see what's left of the krausen after it fell and just below that are what I assume are hop seeds.
