i have brewed in tandem with a buddy's equipment a couple of times, but a week ago i brewed a snpa clone with my own newly aquired equipment.
i used 2 liters of lme, 4 lbs of dme and wyeast (northern brewers).
it took about 1 hour to get my wort cooled to about 77 degrees during which time i aerated like crazy in my 6 gal carboy. after this period i attatched the airlock and about 12 hours later the batch was bubbling up a storm.
my batch formed a layer of white froth about 1/2" thick during aeration and after about 9 days this layer has not dissipated and i'm getting about 1 bubble every 3 seconds.
My questions are: 1- is this froth a normal occurance. i did not notice it in my first two batches. 2- is my primary fermantation going on for too long. i have not taken any hydrometer readings (next time definitely will).
thanks for any help.
