Hey All, I am on my first batch. I have been quitely reading all the posts I could around here...all i could find was posts on HUGE floaties and INFECTED floaties but I need some advice on what to do with these floaties. These seem to be a little bit different than what i could find looking around... It looks about the same in the primary, just a wider area than my pyrex cup.
(kinda looks like goldschlager ha)
(I take my hydro reading with a sanitized pyrex measuring cup and a hydro jar )
I think they came from me not filtering any of the trub out of my kettle. I used a whirlfloc tab, cooled down my kettle, and just dumped it into the fermenter. (my first batch...was too excited :cross I tried to see if there was any trub at the bottom but Im pretty sure it just got poured in. Now it has been 2 weeks, gravity is around 1.018 and been there for couple days and I am getting ready to bottle. Any tips on getting these floaties out without re-aerating the beer? I have a plastic bucket and its a dark porter so i cannot tell if it is just on the top or its everywhere. When I hold my hydro sample up it only seems to be at the top....
Will they settle out during conditioning? Can i use the bottom part of the siphontap without the aerator to help filter? Should I rack to secondary? (dont really want to) I cant really do anything?
Any advice is appreciated thank you!
