Hello all,
After reading some postings I have determined that it is probably yeast, and if it is not then its not bad.. you tell me please.
A thin layer of white, powdery/dry looking film on the top of the bucket. The layer has bubbles (mild) and dissolves into the beer real easy. I didn't siphon any off when I bottled it, but now it is at the top of beer in the bottles. it tastes alright, good even, my paranoia is keeping me from enjoying it. It smells fine, it is also the first time I've used peril hops (always(3X) used cascade). 1st time I used extract as well... after running by the man at the homebrew shop I threw in 2 cans of extract, hops, water and then yeast.... no boiling!! the I let it sit for way more then a week or 2.. more like a month and a half, the layer was on there, let sit for another 2 weeks the white stuff still was not growing (no fuzz) , can smell the alcohol, tasted fine so bottled it. Now the bottles have the same stuff..
This is not "white spots" its a kind of film, looks like mold kinda waxy.
should I pitch it? I drank 2 bottles and I'm still typing.
