Hey All,
So, I've read countless posts on here about how this strain doesn't like to fall after 2 or three weeks. I've recently gotten into the trend or fermenting only in the primary and have experienced results that are more consistent than when I'd do the old style 2 stage.
Anyhow, my fear during this ferment is that this krausen hasn't budged after almost 3 weeks AND the beer below is still a bit murky. From what other posts have said, folks have racked through this cloud to find very clear beer underneath. Now, the beer isn't nearly as milky-orange as the first week. I can see the trub is getting more packed and some of the yeast has obviously dropped out of suspension, but I am hesitant to rack this soon.
The funny thing is, about 1/8th of an inch under the krausen is this gorgeous ring of very clear beer.
I would RDWHAHB, but I am all out as my last batch was scarfed up by friends
Deets:
Almost 10lbs of extract
16oz of Simplicity Candi Syrup
5 oz Liberty
OG 1.080 (eek)
Thanks all...
Edit. SG is down to ~ 1.020 now... guess i need a bit longer
