Hey Everyone,
It's been 5 days since i brewed my first beer and put it into the fermenter. The instructions say within 5-7 days the sediment falls to the bottom and the beer can be siphoned into the secondary.
Well, the sediment has indeed fallen to the bottom (mostly), but there is a thin layer of gunk on the top of the beer. It's brown and looks almost like graham cracker pie crust. It formed a ring around the top, and there's some floating on the surface.
What is it? Is this normal sediment which will fall to the bottom by the 7th day?
Info about the brew:
I sanitized and cleansed the fermenter and all brewtools with Clorox, am using a 6.5 gallon glass carboy with about 5 1/4 gallons of beer fermenting, and the temperature is a fairly constant 70 degrees.
