Scum!

[spudbasher]

When I used to homebrew in the eighties some of the kits used to recommend skimming the scummy head that develops on a fermenting brew after a few days,not letting it sink in.
This doesn't seem to be mentioned anymore , is it a practice that has fallen out of favour?

cheers Spud.

usually you get a foamy head then a scummy ring around the fv, aslong as ur gear is sterlised properly then no need to go in farting about skimming stuff, its another way for infection to get in, im a lazy get, my method is set, and forget for 2 weeks!

You will find a lot of the "scum" sticks to the side of the FV after ferment.
More is left behind when you rack the beer off.
