Re: ? About clear top "layer" before I'm bottling?

I've always noticed this top layer after about 5 days. I got 2 batches that have been going 10 days so far, both 2 gallons and they both have this top layer. Honestly I thought this just happens with brewing cause with only four batches under my belt so far I've seen it every time. Is this not good?...

New to the Borg. Had bad batch of brewdemon twisted monk

Hi guys! I'm pretty new to brewing an trying to learn all I can. My first batch was pretty good and is still bottle conditioning further. It was the evil Pilsner that came with my brewdemon kit. My second batch I just tasted and gave me many questions. It was the twisted monk wheat beer from brewdem...
