I am brewing my first AG and its a barleywine. I have been boiling down for about 3 hours now. I still have a large film of proteins floating on top. Im almost down to the level where I need to start adding my hops. I have a good boil going but its not extreme. Can you hit your hot break and still have film of floating protein on top???? Should I do something? Im worried. , But thinking it may be due to the amount of sugars in the pot from a barleywine recipe.
