hi guys,

I put down a 100L version of Mac whiskey the other day and for the first time I threw in a kilo of peated malt.
everything seems normal except that some of the malt has sat onto of the wash and formed a sort of crust. I broke it up and pushed it back into the wash a few days into the ferment but it just reformed and now that the wash has finished this firm crust of malt is still there. looking at it, it looks like all peated malt but im not 100% sure if it a mixture of the peated and pale.

I haven't used peated malt before so is it normal for it to form this kind of crust.
cheers, ED

Yep ale malt will sometimes to. Think its called a krausen cap :handgestures-thumbupleft:

ok, I thought the krausen was supposed to settle out once the ferment was finished.

Mine does usually but not always. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

good to know thanks
