Good thought, but Oxy "stuff" doesn't disintegrate like that.....don't ask how I know.

Caught me! I thought i was infected for sure! I got nervous this is only my 4th batch and I never saw that stuff before. I'm seriously going to skip the bucket next time and do the whole thing in my Carboy.

So it's been sitting in the secondary for about 6 weeks now. Think I should bottle it in time for Christmas or let it age some more?

Hahaha,

nothing to be ashamed about. My own batch that I mentioned having similar white spots, that became benign clumps of CO2 bubbles, there was probably about my 35th. or so, and when I first saw them, my heart sank a little:cross: The next day when I realized all was not lost I was a happy camper

I've yet to use a carboy for primary fermentation. Buckets and Mr. Beer LBKs for me all the way. All I really get to observe is the krausens, though, but rehydrating S-04, US-05 has been getting some pretty entertaining eruptions going of recent

Have you tasted it yet?? If it tastes good, and I'm pretty sure that after 6 weeks in secondary it's reached FG, I'd definitely bottle now and try a couple/few at Christmas.

This should be right up your alley!

Haven't tasted it since the day it went in the secondary. I don't know if I can wait much longer!

6 weeks? Heck yea, bottle that sucker:rockin:

Just finished bottling and cleaning up after myself ( dropped a near full bottle on my kitchen floor, shattered glass and sticky beer all over ). Tastes pretty good. FG read high at 1.026 but I don't know if I trust my hydrometer. Regular water reads at like 1.010. We'll see how they turn out in a couple of weeks!!

I don't trust your hydrometer, either. Assuming you took measurements at the appropriate temperature (and even if not, it shouldn't be off that far). Is it possible to slide the piece of paper inside? Not sure that hydrometer is to be trusted in the future.

Kind of off topic here... But the picture on your post on 12-05 in the middle or so.. The bubble formation looks like a Jason mask.. Kind of freaked me out when I saw it.
