Weird white stuff

Rewind my first double ipa. Fermentation was crazy. Lasted about 10 days. Now that I have moved it to the secondary for dry hopping there appears to be this



Weird droopy white mucus stuff floating on top. It does sink to the bottom though.
The beer still tastes fantastic but I'm worried about this new presence. Can someone please tell me what I'm dealing with, if anything.

 

Looks like curly yeast rafts to me. You should be fine. It gets kicked up sometimes & makes floaters.

 

yep, looks like some trub may have broken free and floated. i wouldn't sweat it.

 

has someone been ... never mind. (gotta keep my mind out of the gutter)

 

Oh....is that.....hair gel?

 

Everyone should ferment in a clear vessel at least once just to watch the madness.

 

definitely agree! i mainly ferment in glass, and it's quite a show. i did a Pliny clone the other day, and after pitching, the break material began clumping and dropping, as it dropped at different rates the middle cleared.... my brother said it looked like the planet Jupiter. :rockin:

 

Kinda like this?

 

Wow,that's wild. Jovian ale,anyone?

 

Looks like you're making a Black n Tan all in one fermentor.

 

If my first beer looked like either of those two I would be running to the forums as well. Wow that is a lot of yeasty stuff.

 

+1 to that... I was just like "how is he brewing a black and tan..."

Both of those pics are pretty sick, you DEF need to watch a fermentation, its seriously awesome every time. My Belgian Pale I just finished up fermented like mad for the 1st 2 days, it looked like there was hurricane in there

 

pretty much exactly like that, man. pretty neat thing to see that at the end of a brew day, ya know ya've done something right.

 

Your beer is clearly ruined. I'm an expert of disposing of that kind of thing. PM me if you need my services.
