Hi guys I've done a few kits before and been ok. However I am stumped now. I'm 2 days in on this stout and things are weird. First day nothing happened, I stirred it and it fizzed like whisking a coke. But that head of 3 inches settled in 5 minutes. I pitched a dry packet of gervin ale and ive got a strange krausen. It's not a thick yeasty sludge it's a 1cm coke like head that I can see bubbles form and pop. There is nothing going on in airlock which is through a vaselined rubber grommet and the fermentation bin lid /bin is wrapped in cling film. Also when I shine a torch on bubbles some appear iridescent, . Im sure I rinsed it well but I didn't use steam cleaner this time I used Youngs 4 tsp in 10 litres. Have I sterilised my brew, what is the reaction that's happening. Have I over oxygenated, hence not eating sugars yet, if that's possible.
