I was laying in bed led night listening to my Steam Beer bubbling away peacefully when all of the sudden i heard it realease a massive amount of gas all at once. I thought his was weird because it started 3 days ago and should be just about finished up. I was planning on taking a reading this morning and i woke up to a huge white sticky mess inside the carboy.
I pitched it on wednesday with some harvested Wlp001 from a barleywine that had just finished, and it took of like normal. Three days in it was perfectly normal, but now it's covered in big thick white kreusen thats slowly oozing through the airlock.
I've been making beer for a long time and it doesnt look right to me. I see a white ring around the beer at the top, Is this the dreaded "white ring of death"? I have never had a bacterial infection so dont know if i would recognize one. Here are the pics.
The carboy on the left was pitched with Wlp862 and looks normal to me.
