USA, thank you!

Very useful and makes complete sense. I've never actually used a commercial hetero strain, so it's like that a number of the batches I used to do which dropped significant gravity numbers were actually contaminated with wild yeast without my knowing. I've made multi-generational starters to try...

Yeah, I thought about that too but I didn't notice any signs of regular yeast fermentation. I suppose a wild yeast fermentation doesn't necessarily have to look the same as a controlled saccharomyces cerevisiae though, does it? The OPs photo, on the other hand, does look a fair bit like a yeast...

You do appear to have some kind of krausen going on so yeast is a strong possibility but a number of different lacto strains can produce ethanol and significantly drop gravity points as well. This would also create foam on top of the fermentation. I had a wheat drop about 40 points in under 3...

I've done the set and forget as well as shaking it up. I could be wrong but I don't think that I'm overcarbonated because each keg is the same and when I do pour a glass at 1-2 psi it seems perfect. I started with around 12 ft thinking that would be way too much and started cutting from...

I've had a kegerator for about year now and been having the same problem. Too much foam. It seems a lot of people have the same problem and I've read quite a few threads about it but nothing so far has been able to fix my problem. Basically, my beer seems to be fine. I'm running about 6C at...
