Hey gurus,
I was going to bottle today, but decided to ask first, because the beer looks somehow strange. This is my 11th brew. It is a minimash AHS Ordinary Bitter ale, very fast, very light, a perfect lawn-mowing beer for a Texan summer I have made it twice already. This batch sat for twelve days in a carboy at about 65F. One strange thing that I noticed was that it kept bubbling all the time, and it still doing so, at a 1-2 bubbles per minute rate. And then I looked at the surface, and I see too much stuff there plus a little bit of foam. (The stuff itself may be fine, it's protein caused by a tsp of Irish moss.) Previous batches didn't have it, after 5-6 days the surface was almost clear. Can anybody comment?
