Steeping Specialty Grains What made you choose four quarts of rinse water? My recipe called for 1.5. It seemed to me like I could get more goodness out if I used more, but I also figured the recipe's creator had good reason for the amount they used. |

Gooey Yellow-White film after fermentation slows when using lactose Oh, yeah! I forgot about all the cocoa butter. The layer is a sort-of buttercream color, just like cocoa butter. When it was actively fermenting, the krausen had a good bit of dark cocoa powder floating on top of it. I tasted the wort just before pitching the yeast and it was gritty with cocoa. Gritty and delicious. :D |

Gooey Yellow-White film after fermentation slows when using lactose Sorry - I used WLP002 - English Ale Yeast. The recipe calls for WYeast 1318 London Ale Yeast III. My LHBS doesn't carry WYeast and several conversion charts I found online say that WLP002 is a good analog. WLP002 is supposedly highly flocculant. |

Gooey Yellow-White film after fermentation slows when using lactose Thanks for the reply. Good to know about the nutrient causing slowdown to be different. In past batches it seemed to go from full-throttle fermentation to no airlock activity in one day. This time around I noticed it slowed down more slowly to where it's still bubbling once every couple of minutes, even after 11 days. |
