hey guys
I've done 3 biab brews now, 3.5kg pale malt, 200gms lt crystal and 60gms of fuggles was the first and I was very happy, now the last two were much the same but used MO instead if Pale. yeast was us 05 and one was Nott. the nott after 3 days did not start to ferment so I added another yeast and it got away but may not be any good after 3 days of no yeast activity.
My problem is the krausen wont subside on my last two brews. it forms a large crust like on top and there is heaps of yellow stuff hanging around in the fermenter that I've never seen before in all my K&K and extracts. the only way I can get this stuff to settle is ti bang the fv quite hard. any info would be greatly appreciated. I hope to sort the problem before my next brew
cheers willo
