Hi everyone,
I’m fairly new to all grain and learning lots with each brew I do.
I recently made a recipe of my own where I added 1 kg of honey at the end of the boil to 45lt. After a few days of bubbling in the fermenter things seemed to stop as the temp dropped 1043 down to 1025 on the refracto. I checked a few times but left it for a couple of weeks. I’ve just taken the lid off to give the yeast a rouse and add a heater and found quite a bit of white floaty stuff in the wort. At first I thought infection but now I’m thinking maybe beeswax or something from the honey. I took a sample and it tasted good. Still 1025 refracto but 1012 with the hydrometer so I’m guessing I have equipment issues.
Anyone have experience with the white floaties?
Thanks
