my beer has some green stuff floating. T

[rbracknell]

there is no way this wasn't clean. Im borderline OCD on the sterilization

 

[OrdinaryAvgGuy]

how long has it been fermenting? What kind of sanitier did you use?

 

[rbracknell]

for about a week and a half.

 

[rbracknell]

I used one step on the sanitizer

i does look wired but i think its just trub clamps surfacing powered by co2 bubbles

 

[OrdinaryAvgGuy]

Likely unsettled hops. Give it another week and half and see what it looks like.

Isn't that normal for Mr. Beer... gdr

A major flaw with the design of their fermenter is that it is open to the air due to the lid vents. I am assuming the green masses are dissolved hop pellets...but you appear to have bacterial colonies besides. Buy a small carboy with a rubber stopper and air lock!

Hops, mold and potential cancer cure there

yeah actually It was a 1 gallon batch kit partial grains and extract from my local brewer supply. I used the Mr Beer fermenter instead of my 6 gallon unit.

You know what they say... If it looks good and it smells good...

Yeah I'm going to trash it. I have all the toys including the carboy. Just thought I would try the small batch in my old Mr Beer as I had a 5 gallon batch planned and didnt want to tie up my 5 gallon stuff.
