Hey ya’ll, within the last couple hours a thin white head has formed which doesn’t appear bubbly or web-like. Does anyone have experience on what beginning phases of a lager fermentation looks like?
This is my first lager brew (i’ve done many ales) and only my second brew in this clear fermzilla (previously used speidel). It’s a Mexican lager with 2-row and flaked corn and pitched a single OLY-113 mexican lager yeast pack 48 hours ago. I let it splash into the fermenter then shook the heck out of it. Pitched at 58, dropped to 50, and current at 53. I have spunding set at 1-2psi. Batch size is 7 gallons, OG around 1.050, (I know, I regret not buying two packs of yeast - didn’t have time for a starter on this one either). pH was around 5.5, possibly a bit lower.
Thanks,
Bobby
