So I am fairly new to the brewing process I am on my third batch. The first batch came out stellar and totally exceeded my expectations. I got into brewing because I wanted to try what I thought were new flavors for beer that I could not find anywhere else. Anyway my problem is that I just put 5 gallons of an experimental recipe into my carboy and within hours it had seperated into layers (6 layers to be precise). I need to know if anyone has seen this happen before and if it is something I did wrong and if my beer is ok, the first two batches did not do this.
recipe is as follows.
In the boil:
7lbs light malt extract
1 small cinnamon stick
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp irish moss
1 oz. vanilla extract
2 peach flavored tea bags
1/2 lb brown sugar
1 oz willamette hops
boiled for 1 hour
we cold broke the beer and added an american ale V yeast from wy yeast labs and followed the same sanitation protocols as with the other two batches. If anyone can give me some insight into what is going on I would appreciate it.
