Titan Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Still looks healthy to me. What i would do is rock the fv a little. It may dislodge the krausen allowing it to drop. How clear is the beer underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Doesn't look infected. I've never used that yeast, maybe the krausen hangs around for ages with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy92 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Looks quite dark still smells and tastes aright just wasn't too sure seems like its quite dark for a pilsner also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthog Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 If it tastes ok, I would give it a small tap on the sides to dislodge krausen from FV edge, give it a 3day spread to check the FG is stable, and cold crash for a week, or if not cc'ing, leave a few days and bottle. You should be able to bottle leaving any top krausen residue behind. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy92 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Have took a look for few days and its been stable i bottled it tonight and just stopped when it got low to tap hooefully it will come out half decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I hope you waited for that foam to subside in the sample before taking the reading I agree it looks dark for a pilsner too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy92 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yeah i normally leave it aside for a few minutes before testing anyway when im messing about haha normally having a beer! Could have maybe been the liquid malt that looked quite dark so did the tin of mix think ill be trying part grain next for the better taste.
