I just racked to secondary after 9 days ... green sludge dropped out like (like you said). Smells phenomenomenomenomemal ... Gravity in the seconday was 1.024 ... dry hopping with 1oz of Amarillo ... Ohmygah ... Bottling late next week ... two weeks and then bottoms up!

I just had the same problem and posted the same question. I had some good comments in the thread I posted last night ... Cliff's notes: Don't worry about it - drink it.

What do you recommend for a cold crash? Prior to secondary? Prior to bottling? Both? Temp and duration?

If I CAN drink it (instead of eating it), I will! I'm with ya!

This is GOOD news! It does look like pig vomit right now, although hops are starting to settle out, which is giving it more of a "I'm getting over the flu" yellow color. Should be light, I didn't use any malts with any significant color. Thanks - I'll sleep a little better knowing I'm not...

Hmmm ... makes sense. I'll be shocked if my OG was really 1.100. Well, shocked and pretty drunk in a few weeks. As far as the calculation goes, (Initial Concentration) * (Initial Volume) = (Final Concentration) * (Final Volume); solve for final concentration: (70 gravity pts) * 6 gallon...

Hey All - I've never seen nor heard of anything like this, so I need to call in the big guns. I just brewed by fourth batch ... 8-gallon stainless kettle with thermometer, and 1/2" ball valve over an sp10 bayou burner. I used: 18 lbs grain 6 oz hops, 1 oz fwh - the rest at 20 mins or later...

Congrats to all the other new homebrewers! Ne Plus Ultra ... I just started an Allagash White on the heels of Flying Dog Raging B!tch ... TGIF ... bottoms up.

Looks awesome ... I think I'm going to try this with some pearl malt and a slightly different hop schedule. Question ... Where did you get your water and did you add anything to it besides grain/hops?
