So I brewed up a Pumpkin beer a couple of weeks ago (8/31) and I separated it in half so that I could use WLP008 (East Coast Ale Yeast - left) and WLP568 (Belgian Saison Yeast Blend - right).
This shows them side by side
This was based on a recipe from Zymurgy Sept/Oct 2013 (Pocahontas Pumpkin Ale and Saison D'Potiron).
I've let the fermenters sit now for this time and thought I would share the pics and hopefully receive some insight as to why they look so much different and what is on top of the WLP008 one.
And here's the top of the East Coast Ale yeast
Is this an infection? I have never had an infection (only 15 batches so far) so I'm slightly confused at how much different this turned out.
Both have reached FG of about 1.012. - Estimated FG was 1.014. It's exceptionally hard to read given the amount of clearing that still needs to happen.
