I brewed my first attempt at a parti-gyle brew a fortnight ago (info here if you're interested). All went pretty well and I dry hopped the brews last weekend. Got up yesterday morning and saw this in the small beer.
I've asked a number of both home and pro brewers what it is and I've been told the following:
Acetobacter
Aerobic infection
Scum caused by high alpha dry hops
I took advice and racked the beer off into a sterile cornie gassed up and purged. The FV looked like this post rack.
The plan was to transfer to a second cornie in a week but I thought I'd have a sneaky taste, just for QC purposes you understand. It tastes pretty good and not infected, the aroma isn't all that but I think that is down to the hops used (Sorachi & Citra).
What would you do, and can anyone else shed some light as to what it might be?
