Should I be concerned?

Post by Creaseline » Fri Jun 22, 2018 6:28 pm

I put in a Festa Brew cream ale in the primary fermenter 6 days ago. The action in the airlock had stopped, so I removed the lid to check the final gravity before transferring to the carboy. This is what I found. The final gravity is bang on where it should be, but I've never had a beer remain be foamy before. Is this infected or is this normal? Image

Looks fine to me. I think that is leftover krausen

Transferred to carboy. All seems to be good. It just seems to be a foamy beer. Had to wait to put the airlock on the carboy after stirring in the clearing agent because of foam. Thanks!

I'm responding late, but it looks perfectly normal. the cream ale leaves more residue in the vessels than their darker worts during fermentation. i lost 3 litres just trying to keep the siphon in clear liquid during transfer and bottling. I left my cream ale in carboy 10 days more than suggested and it made a whole lot of difference.
