Hi all,
I'm trying to replicate the exbeeriment where you use kettle trub instead of fining agents to clarify my Helles. This is what it looks like on day 2 of fermentation, and I'm wondering if it looks infected to you all. The normal one looks normal:
and this one looks like a bottle of disease
Fermentation wise, the trub filled one has a much lower gravity than the normal ferment one after 5 days of fermentation at 10c (1.016 vs 1.024) and tasting both samples presents less diacetyl. Also the Trub filled one in the hydrometer sample had a lot of sediment drop out of solution when left at room temperature for an hour, but remains looking cloudy as all get out so far.
