So this is my first beer ever, and everything seems to be going fine. My only concern is that it seems like i have lost almost a 1/4 gallon of wort out of my airlock. This morning (day 1 of fermentation) the airlock was bubbling fine, nothing odd. I went out and ran some errands and came back to see that my airlock was full of foam and the lid of my fermenter was covered in "beer foam"
I've been checking up on it throughout the day and wiping off the foam from time to time, and i looked at the measurements on the side and the wort is almost at the 4 3/4th mark.
I should also mention that this is a german hefe made from a kit from more beer! using wlp300 yeast.
I'm going to guess that this is probably normal and I am just freaking out because i've never made beer before, but if it isn't normal let me know so I can attempt to fix the problem.
Thanks a bunch,
Jon
