Didn't know where to put this and didn't want to start another thread on it, but:

In fermenter is an IPA

And is this bad or just yeast that never fell?

Looks like yeast rafts/leftover krausen to me. How does it smell, taste? You are fine.
 
Just moved a batch "Merlin Blackberry Red Ale" into secondary. I CANNOT WAIT to drink this beer. Maple Bacon Ale on deck for this weekend or next!
 
5.5 gal of some possibly (probably?) tainted (infected?) blonde ale... 😞

Found my primary lid unseated about 10 days after pitching.

Friggin'... Fargin'... Varmint... Critter!
 
Let that Blonde ride and see what happens!

I currently have 3 gallons of German Pilsner bubbling away in my fermenter. Its slowed way down now to only maybe 1 bubble every 10-15 seconds and Krausen has dropped off. Only brewed it up this past Sunday (pretty fast fermentation for 53F IMHO, but I did also pitch a 1L starter aggitated with a stir plate in to 1.052OG wort...which at least by Mr. Malty math, means I probably overpitched by a good 20-30%).

No idea what uts going to be like, also might do a dry hop of riwaka when it shows up.
 
I haven't brewed in like two months, I really need to get moving.. my pipeline is starting to dry up...
Primary - air
Secondary - air
 
5 Gallons - Blonde Ale
1 Gallon - Sour Funky Cider
1 Gallon - Berliner Mead
1 Gallon - Bochet mead fermented with Brett C and B
1 Gallon - Lambic Mead aging on fruit
 
Riwaka? Sounds jawanese...:D Got the 1st FG sample of my kottbusser just now. Got a couple more points to knock off yet. Sweet/tart flavor already, before molasses & honey go in. nice buzz too. Good on a cold day. Makes me wish my bottled ESB was ready for fridge time.
 
- One gallon of a high-ABV hopped apple mead... we're in the aging stage now, the long stretch in secondary.
- One gallon of all-grain barleywine... still in primary, not sure when to pull the trigger on bottling. May adulterate with candi.
- One gallon of Honey Rye braggot... all-grain mash with rye and caramel 60, hopped, with honey doing most of the heavy lifting.
 
A 1g test batch of a pale stout that I tried to make. I'm thinking it's going to turn out different than I was expecting. And a 5g batch of Caramel Amber Ale. :)
