Hi All,
I'm working on a TrueBrew Irish Stout kit. I've make a few batches in the past but I'm definitely still a novice.
Everything went well initially. I transfered the 1.5 gallons on the hot mixture into a glass primary fermenter that had 3 gallons of cold water in it. I topped it off to 5 gallons and then added the yeast when it was at 92 degrees, waited about 10 minutes, then stirred the yeast in and applied the airlock. Its now about 22 hours later and it appears to be fermenting, but all of the hops are now floating on the top of the wort. I am not sure if this is normal or not (the instructions do not specify) so I wanted to ask the pros. Will I just filter this out when I move it to the secondary fermenter?
Thanks in advance and happy holidays to all.
cheers,
Jason
