    Hello. This is my first post, so forgive any lack of info. I recently (after quite a few kits) brewed my own extract recipe. It turned out really well. A summer American wheat. Dme and some specialty grains. I brewed the second batch using lme just to see the difference. On the second batch there is a pretty hefty film left on the drinking glass after the beer is... well.. drunk. Any ideas on what caused this? I am open to questions and criticism. Thanks!!

    No pics?

    I'm guessing it's lacing.

    This is a picture of the glass. This is two days after drinking the beer. Lacing is what I thought first but it seems much thicker. It didnt taste bad.....
    If the consensus is lacing then I've nothing to worry about!

    Wow! I've not seen anything quite like that. Not sure if that could be lacing or not (part of it surely is). Maybe it's suspended yeast and the lacing?

    Anyone else have a clue?

    Looks like lacing with a large amount of yeast. Do your bottles contain a couple ounces yeast sediment and do you pour it all into the glass?

    I'd have to agree with the others looks like yeast, actually looks cool :)

    There is a bit more sediment in the bottles than I would like. I tried not to pour it in but, you know, you get excited. .....
    Thanks for the feedback!

    Did you siphon in trub when you bottled?

    I tried not to siphon any trub. But there was quite a bit so I would imagine I must have. Mabye I tilted the bucket too fast or had the siphon tube too low. I feel like I did what I always do but what everyone is saying makes total sense. I just didn't realize it would have such an impact. And a visual/tactile one, like the residue I got.

    On the upside, that yeast is loaded with B vitamins. Some persons digestive systems take a little time to get used to it though.
