Hi all,
Trying to eek out a Pliny Clone. Did an all grain mash, fermented in primary for two weeks, then racked to secondary and dry hopped (first round). After a few days while globs began to appear floating in the top. It has since gotten worse. Not quite sure what to do. Is it ruined? Or salvageable?

Many thanks,
can’t be 100% sure but it looks like yeast floccing out to me. How does the beer smell/taste? likely it’s fine.

I agree. That’s just yeast collecting on top. Looks like it’s going well!
