I know, another person with another infection question. It's a pliny clone been in primary for 10 days, just opened to take a first gravity reading, hit target gravity. Is this an infection, or leftover krausen/yeast?

Also I was going to cold crash it in another 2 days. Does cold crashing cause infections to "drop" or just yeast? Could be an easy way to tell.
 
Not sure what you mean by "dropping" an infection. You're not going to remove a biologically active entity just by chilling its ass ;)

Assuming you take a couple of successive SG readings and have convinced yourself the yeast are done cleaning up after themselves, a solid crash will drop a heck of a lot of debris. But it's not going to kill an infection.

Fortunately, I don't think you're looking at an infection. Yet...

Cheers!
 
Yeah. I was thinking yeast rafts till I noticed the broken ice pack patterns. Might be the start of something...
