Weird seperation

[IanPC]

Brewed an NB deadringer IPA today and it looks like a reverse black and tan...I pitched the yeast starter and checked back a couple hours later and it was looking light on the top and darker on the bottom. The airlock is bubbling away...

Sounds like break material- normal. No worry.

Any wheat in the recipe?

 

[TyTanium]

+1 Totally normal. I find especially so with lots of hop material.

 

[IanPC]

Bries caramel malt 1lb, 9.15lbs gold malt syrup, and 4 oz's centennial hops.

I'll take a pic

That looks like yeast making its way down the buffet!

Star San in the airlock.

Look like the pitched yeast falling through the wort. Did you just pour in your starter prior to this pic? How old is this batch?

 

[IanPC]

Just took the pic now...pitched at 4pm eastern...and its 10:46

Wish I made a blowoff...

 

[IanPC]

The batch is young

It's not too late.

Everything looks normal. Put a shirt over it, and leave it alone. Forget about it for a couple weeks. When you go back, you'll have beer.

Very good...I got it covered...I've only made dark beers thus far and it weirded me out a little. I don't have the tubing for it :facepalm: I can get some tomorrow after work at the earliest.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

If you pitched at 4, it shouldn't be trying to escape by the time you get home. Even if it is, you can still add your blowoff tube.

 

[IanPC]

I may just do that. I have never seen fermentation happen that quickly. Its only my 4th batch so thats not saying much, and I've never used a starter before.

Please don't post the same thing in multiple areas of the forum. Thanks.

Sorry, thought removed the other one. Thanks for the heads up though.
