Looks like yeast and hop particles to me.

Just looks like the krausen settling down. But if in a few days it starts to look more white and the floaters have less of a sheen (like little white lily pads) then I would start to worry. Otherwise I think it is fine.

Gravity is reading 1.004 [emoji17] target was 1.010

This is at 2 weeks in primary.

Looks pretty normal to me. Did you taste it? Pull an ounce or two out with a thief and give it a try.

Some yeasts attenuate more than others, no infection visible in that picture.

 

[hoosier2137]

My issue is, that would be a 90%+ attenuation. That doesn't seem normal to me. My last beer was the same way with the same yeast and it wasn't a drain pourer but it was very one dimensional. The yeast is US-05.

 

[Johnnyhitch1]

what is your ferm temp? anything above 68 and us05 could get out of hand

 

[hoosier2137]

66-68. Closer to 68 for the most of fermentation.

pound it!

 

[hoosier2137]

Lol it's getting pounded either way. I just tasted it and it seemed ok. Slight fermentation smell and tasted but pleasant.

Is it extract or all grain or partial mash? If it involved a mash, then lower than targeted mash temps could cause a more fermentable wort that would attenuate more resulting in a lower FG.

Brew on

I thought about that when I put this recipe together bcuz of the last beer. It's all grain and I mashed at 154F for an hour. It's a blonde but I was willing to have a little more body if it wouldn't over attenuate. That obviously didn't work out.
