hope it's OK!

[timmy7649]

I've been extract brewing floor over a year now and never seen this. Any thoughts. Here's my recipe.
9.25 lbs lime
.5 lbs crystal 40

1.5 oz Amarillo 60 min
1 oz Amarillo. 30 min
1 oz Amarillo. 15 min
.5 oz Amarillo. 0 min.

Wyeast 1056 pitched at 70*

It's been fermenting for 10 days and sitting at 65* primary. Ggoing to dry hop 2oz Amarillo at 14 day mark and dry hop for a week. I always primary for 3 weeks.
I hope all this stuff is just things settling out of beer. But to me looks like it's on the glass. Tell me your thoughts. And thanks in advance.

It's hard to tell absolutely,but it looks like krausen foam to me. Should be ok.

 

[timmy7649]

I know what the foam is. It was the stuff on the side in the middle. I was talking about. But no worries I checked it this morning and it all settled. But thanks for the response.

Just a suggestion -- I think you might substitute liquid malt extract (LME) for lime in your recipe, probably safer and better-tasting overall


But seriously it looks like it'll be good

It's going to be a bud light lime clone I guess. Lol. Damn smart phone.

Bud light is horrible

I see what you mean now. That's just settling yeast clinging to the sides. Maybe some film in there that needs to be scrubbed out?

I know that's why I home brew! But if it wasn't for bunch I wouldn't be a beer drinker. But that was a long time ago. Thank God. For good beer.

That is either bubbles coming up the sides or as Unionrdr said, yeast(or trub) clinging to the sides... it tends to do that and will most likely drop by the end of fermentation
no worries!

Maybe shake it up a bit and let it set for another week.

Yea it has already settled.

 

[sudsmcgee]

FYI, you're better off pitching below ferm temp if possible.

 

[timmy7649]

Yea in a perfect world. Lol

I actually have this on my current fermenting brew and am hoping it settles by next monday!

Im glad it settled so fast for you

Did everything in your beer settle? I thought mine did but it wasn't settled out on the back side of the carboy. Maybe it's stuff stuck to the inside of the glass?

 

[DamageCT]

It did not settle, but I noticed that it seems to be in the non flat areas of the carboy.

I plan on cold crashing 2 days before kegging the beer (It has to be cold to carbonate anyways)

Yea. Kinda weird. It's in 2 of my beers.. I was thinking about cold crashing too. That's if I can fit them in to the fridge. Never cold crashed before. We will see.

Just a day or two before you were going to rack into a keg, toss the carboy into a chest freezer or a very cold fridge and let it sit. Everything should drop. Worst case you get a bit of yeast in your beer, wont really change anything other then clearity.
