thanks for you answer. Actually it will be my first attempt at all grain. I will use a BIAB bag in my coleman cooler for mashing. I was thinking about using the no sparge method. I'v seen a simple rule on the internet. Preboil volume + 12 oz per pound of grain as mash water volume. Then I...

Thanks for the quisk replies. I have that beer in secondary now. You guys think it will be ok anyway or i should just throw away and start a new batch? In the future i should just use a primary fermentor with a air-lock?

I am on my second batch of beer in my short career lol! The first batch was ok so I started a second batch. The first fermentation of this batch had a thick foam to the top similar to the picture . It was in a plastic pale with a loose cover with no air lock. After 7 days, I removed the foam...
