Secondary?

The Bass Ale Clone I brewed a few weeks ago is ready to be bottled this weekend. I have noticed in the past few days some foam has developed. Maybe 10 clusters about the size of a quarter. Just wondering if anyone knows what this is?

Cheers!!!

Good point I will check that now.

Sorry for the delay. OG 1.06 the sg reading I took today.. 1.021. The beer tasted really good I can't wait until it is carbonated. BTW 1 wk in the primary and come Sunday 2 wks in the secondary.

That's only 63.7% attenuation- depending on what yeast you used and if there are any unfermentables in your recipe, it doesn't sound finished. What yeast did you use, and what is the temperature? If you post your recipe, I could see if it should finish lower.

I'd be concerned to bottle with that fg right now.
