[EDIT] I assume this is the wrong topic? Should I post it in fermentation and yeast instead?
Hi guys!
I'm having quite a hard time figuring out what's wrong with my beer...
I'm making a cinnamon imperial stout (technical info at the end of post). I've tried it twice, and both times, my fermentation ended up in having my fermentation tank half-way filled with yeasts (see pic).
The first one I did, I added (way too much) sugar, to increase alcohol content (because I was young and stupid?), so I assumed the problem came from this. The second time though, I simply followed the recipe, but the same thing happened.
If anybody has any clue about what the heck is happening here, that would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks in advance guys!
Technical info:
Cinnamon imperial stout:
Batch size: 5L
Malt:
- 1.7 kg (3.7lb) Lager (38ppg)
- 0.45 kg (1lb) Caracrystal (34ppg)
- 0.5 kg flaked (1lb) oats (33ppg)
- 0.1 kg (0.2lb) roasted barley (29ppg)
Hops:
- bitter: 12 g (0.4oz) CTZ, 5g (0.17oz) Magnum
- flavours: 4g (0.15oz) Goldings, 5g (0.17oz) Magnum, 5g (0.17oz) Columbus
Yeasts:
- Safeale US-05: 1 pack = 11.5g (0.4oz)
Others:
- 8 sticks cinnamon for 30 mins with hops
- 5g (0.17oz) coffee for 5 mins
Fermentation Temp: ~17-22 °C
Measured OG (in brix and converted to gravity): 27.2° --> 1.111
