From the top, the first layer is beer, and then there are 2 more layers. I thought it would be layer 2, but is it possible it is layer 3 (will some yeast settle under the trub?)?
I brewed 10 gallons of an IIPA. I used 2 new vials of WLP007 into a 4L starter on a stir-plate. Fermentation went from 1.077 to 1.024 in 5 days, and then I dry-hopped into bags in the fermenter. I'm using a 14.5 Blichmann SS Conical with tri-clamps. On day 8 I dumped from the 1" bottom into a carboy and added ~80 ounces of water (that I had boiled jars in and cooled to 70) and swirled good. I let that carboy sit in a cool water bath to settle for 20 minutes, and then I slowly poured into 12 8-oz jars which were then capped and put in the refrigerator.
This is the pic after sitting in the refrigerator for 3 hours:
I've read the yeast washing/rinsing thread entirely as well as a few other threads, but this is the first time I've attempted this and I'm not sure its right. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
