Brewing an IPA with S04 at 17 (+/- 0.7), 25 litres.
Due to bottle today and I have noticed a perfect circle pattern sitting on top of my wort within the fermenter.The pattern is the same colour and consistency as the other remaining small clumps of yeast and is about 3 to 4mm thick.There is only one circle.
I have never experienced this before.
Yeast or infection ?
............Ok for amusement sake I have left the above post as is. :lol:
I have just photographed the said wort and suspect 'crop circle' and following the photo with flash lighting the suspect circle up, inspected it more closely with a stronger torch.
It is indeed a rubber band with yeast stuck to it..... FML. A highly dirty and probably infectious rubber band (unless it was in there with starsan). I have NO idea how this got in there ???
Finger crossed. After two weeks fermenting it tastes fine and no obvious signs of infection. I may have gotton away with it.. (or may not).
