Okay, last sunday I racked my red ale from primary to secondary after being in the primary for a week. I checked the gravity and it was 1.016 right where it was supposed to be. My beersmith report estimated 1.015.
I am using the secondary to help clear the beer. I noticed this morning a white ring on top of the beer. I use glass carboys. The ring is approximately 1 in wide with a diameter of about 9 to 10 inches. Imagine like a life saver.
Is this created by a little secondary fermentation? I did not have a chance to check the gravity this morning. I hope it is not an infection. Once I moved the carboy the ring disolved a little.
I removed the air lock and did not notice any off smells. I don't think I have run into this before.
Any ideas?
