Hey, I had a couple questions.
So I’m brewing an IPA with late addition and dry hops. Long story short, bad brew day, couldn’t strain the last minute full cone hops. The fermentation was a monster and has slowed down to pretty much nothing now 9 days later.
But the hops seem to be holding up the yeast on the top of the beer, at least that’s my assumption. They’re floating directly below the krausen. I have a catalyst fermenter so I bottle from the bottom so i could still bottle with it on top. Is this just a case of the yeast being stuck or could it really not be finished? I planned on bottling this weekend after 14 days. I’m very new so I just don’t know if it’s an issue or anything.
