Trying to get this back on track to not discourage a new brewer....
@Rakez, obviously, the reading you are reporting is out of the normal expected reading.
This does not mean dump the beer yet!! It just means we need some additional information to help you.
- Did you take a gravity reading before fermentation started? What was that reading?
- Can you take a picture and post it of the top of the beer and this foam you described?
- Can you take another sample and take a picture with the hydrometer so we can see it as you are?
- What was the recipe (list of ingredients, not just the name of it if possible)?
- What yeast did you use? Was it liquid or dry? Did you make a starter or rehydrate the yeast?
- What temperature is the fermenter in?
- Did you sanitize the equipment before and during the brew day, espically the fermenter?
Help us help you.
