I brewed 2 batches back-to-back this past Saturday and experienced something I never have before:
This pic is after the keggle was already emptied to my carboy after chilling, so the foam itself is taking up half of the keggle.
I use an immersion chiller, and have a 15" false bottom in my BK. Also, I use whole hops loose in the kettle.
I read that whole hops help filter out cold and hot break, but this seems ridiculous. It looked and felt like a can of cool whip exploded in the kettle. You can kind of see the tracks left behind when I ran my hand through it.
So is this what cold break looks like, or could it be something else?
