  It looks like congealed proteins from the cold break to me. And yes..."yeast raft" is a real
  term. That doesn't look like yeast rafts to me, though.

  It's definitely good to know that you didn't end up with a grassy/vegetal taste.

  I feel like it would have been a better comparison to leave both batches in primary for two
  months, but dry hop one batch for the last 10 days only due to the fact the first batch wasn't
  fresh during ...

  I only mentioned it because I thought what you said seemed familiar. I drank mine and knew it

  I just can't get past the clovey, almost saison-ish notes that come from it. I don't know if
  the last batch I made was fermented too hot, or what...It's just not the bee's knees like I
  wanted it to be...

  Thanks MTate. I'm trying to figure out if I should dump this or not, don't want to ruin all my
  brewing effort with poopy yeast bread. I also tasted my decanted 1.6L step and it tasted like

  fermentation tem...

  Also, put an old t-shirt on the bucket so the bottom is in the water. It will wick up the water
