I brewed a schwarzbier recipe that I have done before and used a fermenter that I made from a half bbl keg. I have a 4” to 2” cone on the bottom for trub and yeast collection.
I used Hothead yeast as I did before and did an initial trub dump at 2 days. I let it finish fermenting and went to do a yeast harvest and this is what I ended up with.
Looks like there’s no yeast/trub layer line that I normally see in a starter. I removed the controlled heat from it yesterday so it’s down to 45F and tried another dump today and it was just beer. Is my yeast just the same color as trub?
