Dry hopping...

When I racked the beer to my secondary fermenter, I added one ounce of Liberty hop pellets.  This is known as "dry hopping".  I can agree with the folks at Jasper's Homebrewing and Winemaking that it doesn't look too pretty.  They say "...the green surface layer of hop sludge will resemble slimy, algae-covered swamp water.  If this doesn't make you want to grab a beer, what will?"

It should sink to the bottom after a while, but right now it doesn't look like something you'd want in your mouth. Today is the 4th day of fermentation.
