I just made my first IPA 2 days ago. It is fermenting in my son of fermentation chiller at a steady 68F right now, but there's only about 1.5" of foam on top of the wort. The airlock is bubbling about once every 3-4 seconds. I thought there would be a lot more foam going on with this beer. Is 1.5" of foam in my 6 gallon carboy a sign of inactive yeast? I used Wyeast 1056 smack pack. I'll go into details about recipe and process if needed but if there are obvious causes of this issue (?) I'd like to know.
