This is my third batch of beer ever and the first batch I've done at my house so I am still very new to brewing. The other batches were at a friends house in his basement and I think temp. may have something to do with this question.
The room I have the primary in is about 72 degrees and the primary itself is submerged in water with ice added as needed to keep the carboy around 66 degrees. Krausen has started forming on one side of the carboy. I mean it's almost dead on if you split the carboy in half. The side without the krausen is more active than the side with it. I have rotated the carboy 180 degrees and the krausen starts to break up and will eventually form on the side that previously hadn't had any.
Any ideas on this or should I even concern myself with rotating it at all?
I can post a pic if you guys need to see it.
Just not real sure what's causing it or if I should even worry about it. Fermentation is going great so...... what do you guys think?
Thanks!
