I think it may be a side effect of my temperature sensor placement. I have it taped to the side of the carboy under some insulation. I used a infrared thermometer to measure temperature above and below that layer - it's 67 vs 70. I moved the sensor up to the top of the liquid.

This is about 16 hours into a WLP001 starter pitch, fermenting at 67-68f. This is my first temperature controlled brew! There is something growing about 2/3 of the way up in my carboy; it forms a layer all through the beer. On top of it there are lighter colored clumps of flocculated yeast...

I'm relaxed, drinking a homebrew, etc. I had a small concern it was something else, so thanks for the feedback, but either way I thought the shape was interesting. I wonder what causes it to be a ring only within that vertical zone. Maybe it's gravity/density related since it's all around the...

I'm brewing a saison and pitched WLP566 from a starter about 16 hours ago. Fermentation is going strongly and things look and smell well generally. There is a band of stringy growth around the inside of my carboy, about two thirds of the way up the column of beer. It forms a ring 2 - 3...

I spent a couple of weeks trying to get an old rectangular cooler I had on hand to seal. I used the "no leak mlt bulkhead" design you can find elsewhere on this forum, with many variations of gaskets and o-rings and varying amounts of torque. It always leaked pretty quickly. I finally gave up...

I found it archived elsewhere and re-uploaded it.
