Ok. Brewed the first batch (ever) this Saturday past. It's a nut brown ale. Everything went according to plan, and by that I mean I felt like I did everything in the proper order and manner. I've noticed that the activity in the fermenter as subsided greatly. However, there is a lot of foam (approx. 3.5 inches) in the fermenter. My questions are:
Is this normal?
Is this in indication that I shouldn't even bother trying to continue with the rest of the process and just start from scratch again?
We cook on a gas stove. Our brew pot is so big that we use both front and back burners turned up on high. Even using both, I noticed that the boil was not a "full on" boil. It was more of a gentle, rolling boil. Does anyone know if this could be problematic, either now or in the future?
Thanks in advance for any help/thoughts/comments you offer.
