Makes Me Want Icecream

[PDonn63]

I've brewed dozens of all grain beers, never seen a fresh wort settle into the fermenter like this. Also I will be checking the snugness of the false bottom in my mash tun. An hour later and it's still
like this. I'm sure it's fine, just curious why its layered??

Methinks you need some Irish Moss, Could be wrong,thoug. RDWHAHB.

Obviously, you're brewing a black & tan.

Looks like you didn't leave the hot break in the kettle

I'm notorious for dumping the whole kettle in and letting the yeast sort it out if I had more boil off than expected 😱

Me too.

I ferment in buckets, so I have no idea if my wort does anything like that! I guess it's ok, but the layers look really cool.

Hmm, I've never seen it separate in multiple layers like that before, but it looks cool.

It should settle out in a few weeks, and/or you could cold-crash it.

Same here. Just dump the whole lot through a kitchen strainer to catch the bigger chunks. Aerates it well that way and it all settles out in the end.

Liquids want to stratify: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/entries/my-first-year.html

No worries.

I get that now and then -- I'm also of the "dump it all in and let the yeast sort it out" club.

After the yeast gets going and churns it all up, blows a bit off the top and starts to settle you'll see it all nice and settled.
