Ok so... i brewed a Brewers Best Belgian Saison partial mash kit back on Feb 11th...
Went into the fermenter and sat around 67 or 68 for aboit 7 days. Airlock activity stopped and the krausen fell (it never really got very thick... never over an inch that i saw). I believe i was pretty low on my OG... after a couple days i noticed this on the inside walls of my plastic carboy:
Needless to say... id never seen that before... so it was a little alarming... but... i RDWHAHB... at day 8 i gave the fermenter a bit of a swirl... some new airlock activity started but was short lived. The krausen had dropped after the swirl but at day 8 it was back again.
Its now day 11 and its still there... with lots of what appear to be flakes (could that be the flaked wheat?):
I dont know if this is an infection or typical of belle Saison yeast... or if theres some other kind of problem.
Below is the recipe and instructions i used:
Anyone have any ideas or advice on what to do next?
