After a three week period in the fermenter, I racked the beer into a keg with primer sugger for the second.

The wort was made with some dry hops plugs and I usually use pellets. Anyway, when I opened the tub there was a thick 1/4 inch amount of trub-looking crud on the top. I'm assuming this came from the hops plug; the beer smelled normal and it did not have any off flavors from a spoiled batch.

I have not seen this before, Is this normal?

My hydrometer is busted and a replacement is in transit.
 
Without a picture im guessing its just residue from the krausen?

I am still a new brewer but noticed my wheat beer had a big one where as my fat tire clone didnt have much of one at all.


This belgain has a big one

Is it the type of yeast strain that creates larger or smaller krausen ?
