Brad Quinn Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 G'day fellas. I started a brew last night (MR IPA) and it detected start of fermentation today. I opened it up a few minutes ago to add some hop pellets in a infuser ball and it seemed that all of the ingredients were stuck on top of the water and there was an inch thick hard layer. I busted it up with a sterilised spoon and added the hops but my question is, has anyone opened their droid this early and is this hard layer normal this early on? I just expected all ingredients to dissolve pretty quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pursya Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Never opened up and had a look. Maybe contact BrewArt and ask the question. After 24 hours I would expect the heavier ingredients to have mixed, well at least not formed a pavement on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Quinn Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I reckon it would have supported a small child's weight haha. It just did a fermentation test and it all seems to be going ok so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pursya Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 You got me thinking. I have just started a Ruby Porter, 22 hours ago. So at the risk of contaminating it, I had a look. And a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Quinn Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 That makes me feel better. Cheers for that mate, I have never opened mine up until mid way through fermentation to add hops etc but got in a little early this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
