just took a gravity sample from a hoppy red ale i brewed last week and all is well in terms of that but what is that brown flakey stuff floating on top? yeast? ive never seen that before in a beer ive brewed. i run my wort through a 300 micron filter before dumping into the fermenter. beer tasted great already. here was the grain and hop bill just in case: 8# 2 row 1# munich light 1# caramunich III .75# crystal 60 .75# crystal 120 1# flaked barley .5# victory 1 oz chinook@ 60 .5 oz centennial and .5 oz cascade @ 15 .5 oz centennial and .5oz cascade @5 1 oz centennial and 1 oz cascade @ flameout
What yeast did you use and have you ever used it before? Some yeast will leave "rafts" floating on top, but that is substantially more than I have ever seen.
Re-reading your post, I noticed you only brewed this beer a week ago. Nothing to worry about...yeast and krausen.
