Brewers best milk stout

[jason43]

It's been in primary for 12 days. The og was was 1.058 and the sg is 1.038. My question is why is there so much crap floating around in it and would you bottle it? Or wait?

I like to wait on stouts. You might want to give the carboy a light sway shake to break the krausen. My last stout had the krausen stuck on top and needed some swaying.

I'm talking about these little tiny particles floating all in the beer. When I take a reading the tiny particles are everywhere,

Any suggestions?

I currently have a brewers best milk stout in my secondary. I transferred after 9 days and the OG was 1.052 and my FG was 1.020. Your sg seems high and you might need to rep pitch yeast. Did you use a starter? I racked on top of vanilla extract so I plan to leave mine in the secondary for 4 weeks.

I had my first beer from this batch and I am very pleased. There was a very nice light brown head from the pour with good overall mouthfeel. It was a smooth drinking beer with a good aroma. I added about 3 tbsp of vanilla extract to the secondary and it provides a subtle flavor to the beer.

I leave all my brews in primary 4 weeks then bottle. The stuff floating around will settle to the bottom of the fermenter unless you keep stirring it up. I always had good success with Brewers Best kits, although I never did that particular kit.

I agree, if you let everything settle and siphon your beer you should be fine.

the stuff floating around is probably specialty grain particles...the BB kits always seem to have a very fine grind and even with a muslin grain bag particles make it into the wort. I never was able to get really clear beers until i switched over to a nylon paint strainer.
