yeast on the sides of my bucket...

Creaturesofbrewery · Jun 22, 2012

Hi all this might be a stupid ass Q? This is my first batch of homebrew and I'm not sure whether I need to put the yeast that has been pushed up the side of my bucket back into my wort? Any help would be welcomed

just leave it alone.

Creaturesofbrewery · Jun 22, 2012

Thanks. Does it still work though?

Vagrant · Jun 22, 2012

No worries. There's still a ton of yeast in suspension. It's normal for yeast to creep up the sides and give you hell when you go to scrub it later... While your beer is fermenting, you want to limit opening the fermenter unless you really have to.

Cool it is tempting to open it though.

Do not give into the temptation. Leave it alone. When you think its done, leave it alone some more.

Get a Better Bottle and you can watch the show worry free.

Yeah! You can see all that stuff stuck to the inside of the bottle above the beer!

On the one going right now I cannot even tell if the krausen has dropped or not the stuff is so thick. Just like it is in a bucket. I can see the Black IPA though - sweet!
