lager fermentations look scary

[jigidyjim]

This is my second lager, and I'm still scared by the way the fermentation looks. With an ale, a nice krausen forms on top, and it's very exciting. With a lager... there's a clump here or there on top, which makes it look much more like mold. Plus you get clumps of yeast suspended and floating mid wort/beer that look like alien spaceships.

Since it's my second one, I'm not used to it and it freaks me out. But I know better than that. RDWHAHB.

I always get lots of very exciting krausen on my lagers.
