I need some help
Well at 7days fermentation @ 1012 I added some finings
the packet i used was a brigalow packet, it had no instructions on the cardboard it was written on, there was a yeast like packet stabled to the cardboard sheet. I pulled the packet off took the lid off the fermenter and sprinkled it in and resealed... i then read on the back of the yeast packet that
DOH!!
it should be added to some very hot water
then poured into fermenter and stirred gently.
I left it as I had done as I didnt see a way to fix it...
day 9 today and I did a hydrometer reading... well the first sample was full of little jelly like peices and they all floated to the top of the tube... the 2nd and 3rd that i tapped off were better but still about 2-3 floatys they are small about the size of an ant. problem is this brew tastes awesome and i really dont wanna waste it...
I have a second fermenter which is at day 2...
I spose the question im asking is, will these clumps get bigger and float in the top of the fermenter? will they disolve eventually? should I wait till the second fermenter is finished and bottled and rack to it with some sort of a filter?
Thanks
