2nd Batch, what the hell is going on here

Donzi79 · Mar 8, 2012

Doing a fat tire clone for a second batch, and after 10 days in the primary I get this below. My first batch was pretty clear on top, not like this. Smell and taste aren't bad, and it OG was 1.056, and right now its 1.010. I did use Irish Moss this time.....could it be the cause? Thanks

looks normal to me, just give it another week and it should clear up

cool, thanks.....so should I leave it in the PV for another week? I have a secondary I can move it into.

looks like you have fermentation (or the after effects of) going on there. leave it til that hrausen drops and package it up.

Leave it in your PV so the yeast can do the clean up. You'll get a clearer beer

Gotcha, Thanks all.

Thats a pretty handy little mixer. I have the same one. :rockin:

Oh yeah, beer is fine. It's yeast. It's on it's way down.

Good advice above.

And don't worry if it doesn't fall...sometimes it sticks around (rare, but fine).

My bass equipment hang outs out with the beer in my bedroom.....the beer likes to listen.
