Did our third batch last night...
A newcastle brown style brown ale.
We've done a red and an amber before this, both were liquid malt, this one was DME.
Anyway, after cooling the wort we poured it back and forth thru the strainer a few times to get out some gunk and aerate it. Also topping it off to 5 gallons.
This time when doing so we noticed that it got rather foamy. In a 6.5 gal fermenting bucket there was foam all the way up to the lid when we closed it up.
That was all last night, this morning the airlock is bubbling nicely.
My guess is everything is fine. But I figure I 'd ask. Anyone else have big foamy wort?
