Hi folks,
I brewed a stout last Friday and filled the fermenter pretty high. I set up a blow over jar anticipating heavy fermentation activity because I racked right on top of a recently used yeast cake. I checked on it this weekend to find some sort of waxy substance on my blow over tube/jar. Pretty sure that wasn’t there when I left it. I see signs of a leak around the seals but not seeing *any* activity now. Definitely worried that I’ve got an infection. My first after ten years of brewing! What the hell could this waxy stuff be? How could it have even gotten there?
