Hi,
I've been brewing for a couple of years and I have a question about Wyeast American ale II 1272 yeast. I usually use US05 in pretty much everything, as I mostly make ipa's. I just made a karma citra all grain recipe from northern Brewer. Everything went good, got an OG of 1.055. It's been fermenting for 2 weeks at 64-66 degrees F. Pretty normal fermentation to begin with, but I'm noticing the yeast isn't dropping out, like it usually does after 1-2 weeks in primary. In fact, it all seems to be collecting at the top and not clearing. I was going to dry hop soon, but I don't want to with all the huge globs of yeast at the top. Never had a beer do this, but I've never used Wyeast 1272 either.
Should I wait another week? Open her up and stir it gently? Should I just go ahead and dry hop? It's just weird and its bothering me. Doesn't look like an infection, just what the bottom of the fermenter looks like, except at the top. I'll try and post a picture tomorrow.
Thanks!
