The San Diego just kicked up. Tmrw it should be in full burp. I removed all the mold from the top so hopefully none grew back in the lack of O2.
I dont know what this is.. I saw another post with similar looking white film and some said it looked like brett, when I racked to bottling bucket the majority of the film stuck to the side of the carboy some fell into solution, what do you guys think it is. BTW it doesnt taste bad right now, 51 bottles will be carbed and ready in 1 week..
First time I did cider I got the same, it's OK... I think. Did you use ale yeast?
For now let it ride for sure. Although it's cider, it looks like break material when brewing beer plus some small bubbles from co2 coming out of solution. My bet is that you're fine.
Yea I used s-05, it's just those white specs on top that were bugging me out
Just curious to know if this might be infected as i have never had one that is. It actually tasted nicely hoppy (chinook) with a nice hop aroma smell. It tasted nothing i could identify as infection other than looks.
Just wondering what those floating things are?
Dead yeast or something worse?
Smells like fingernail polish remover too.
Foamy, bubbly krausen, even a thick one, can be normal. Having said that, look at the upper 1/3 to the right in the pic. Do I see white streaky tinge there, or is it just me?
I've had thick, dense krausens like that that weren't infected. But I swear I saw that white streaky tinge in upper-right quadrant. Earth control, something's wrong! Can ya hear me major Tom?
Am i the only one that sees the krausen ring in the bucket? thats where it rose and its fallen since then. whats left is prob yeast, trub, pelicle, and lacto looking bubbles sitting on top of the beer.
High krausen having fallen does not necessarily mean that there's no krausen left at all
Looks like Starsan foam to me.
