different looking trub

[Jeepaholic]

This is the 4th batch of beer i have made all of them have been all grain. Everything has gone great but this last stout I made has something different about the trub. I don't think it is infected and it tastes great. I'm just curious what you guys think it is.

Did you rack onto tapioca and banana chips?

Different yeast strain than you used before, I'm guessing... this one looks like it likes to clump.

I think someone dumped a box of granola into your beer.

you're supposed to MASH the oats, not rack on top of them!

Did you use extra irish moss or extra whirlfloc tablets? I remember a post recently about a dude who threw something like 10 or 20 whirlfloc tablets which is basically 10 or 20 times more than you need, and it formed a huge gelatinous mass. Perhaps you did the same thing but one a smaller scale? Either way, you are fine. RDWHAHB.

Wow, that's more responses than I figured I would get. No, I only used 1 whirlflock tablet. I'm not at all worried. I just wanted to share what I thought was a interesting picture.

What I think it is I used a whirlflock tablet and this recipie called for 2 cans of malted milk. I'm betting it is that combo. I think I may call this zombie brain beer because it look like little bits of brain matter.
