Ummmm What is This?

[buddy5582]

This is my fifth extract with steeping grains batch (a repeat recipe) and this one has an odd film on the sides of the carboy. Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks.

Looks like a CRAPLOAD of trub to me.

trub/yeast settling out. Normal, ive had a few beers with that on the side, though not to that extent.

Ok. Any ideas as to what would create so much trub? I've made this recipe before and didn't experience this. Also, do I need to wait for that to fall to the bottom before bottling/legging?

Its like the yeast had some static electricity or something, and stuck to the side! That's happened to me in a few brews, but not to that extent. It looks weird, but since the yeast is stuck to the side it's fine there. Just don't disturb it when you rack to the bottling bucket or keg, and it should stay there.

That's weird. I like the static electricity explanation! Is it possible you had some gunk or leftover cleaning particles or something like that already stuck to the side of your carboy for the yeast to cling to?

What yeast is it?

+1 I'm betting on a residue on bottle that the yeast is sticking to. If you have enough time left in fermentation/conditioning time then maybe swirl the bottle around to wash the yeast back in solution and It might settle to bottom.
