Icefever Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I've never seen anything like it mate...does it smell ok??. ...could be hop oils or the odd alcohol if the brew was stressed?? Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Thanks ice, smells fine and is not sweet, I thought it might be in dissolved malt extract but is oilier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Hop oils in krasuen?, without knowing full brew schedule you did it is not easy to understand. I think leave it and do not open up lid until it has finished fermenting. Rack it off and leave a few days and then have a taste, if not taste of infection, prime bottle or keg, condition drink. It might just be krausen residue that has not dried out... Malt extract I do not know as do not use it but it could just be as a result of that, go with it mate, Edited December 4, 2020 by Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Cheers Justin, I will do that, it's almost finished now👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I never open whilst fermenting. In fact i use pressure fermenting now. I am really a patient with brewing and fermenting, all my beers have come out really well this year, I am getting good reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I leave it in keg for 3 weeks at cold crash in the dark, that usually does the trick or you can bottle aad do same thing as long as it is cold.
