G'day Guys,
Just joined up here as a newbie to home brewing. I have a Coopers kit that I got last Christmas as a present that I only started using a few weeks ago.
Anyways, I have already brewed and bottled a Coopers Lager and a Coopers Draught that both SEEM to be aging well. On Sunday afternoon I decided to try my hand at something different and tried a wheat beer with Ingredients as follows:
- Country Brewer 'Wals Wheat'
- 1.5Kg Liquid wheat malt
- 500g of Dextrose
- Litre of 'plunged' wheat grain
- WB06 yeast
Made 21L and has been sitting at about 24C
Now, I know from what I have read online that this type of yeast is a 'top fermenter'? Which I haven't seen in person before. So now my main reason for posting, I sprinkled the yeast ontop of the foam that was created from filling the fermenter up with cold water to the 21L mark. Now yesterday evening when I got home from work and thought I would have a check on it it looked like the following attached picture.
Is this normal for this type of beer? Is this an infection of something else? I thought it strange that only half was brown and bubbing while the other half is still a little foaming with small bubbles?
Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.
Cheers,
Ian
