6 days ago I made a Young's Special London Ale (as seen in BYO). I hit the OG of 1064 right on the head but the FG is supposed to be 1015 and mine is still 1023. It bubbles once every 30 seconds but tomorrow it will have been in the fermenter for 7 days. I have heard about off-flavors due to storing in the primary too long so that is my concern. I made a 1000ml starter, aerated the wort for 20 minutes (pump and stone) and it took off about 5 hours after I pitched. It fermented hard for 4 days (clogged the airlock and all!). Thoughts?
Question 2:
As I was aerating the wort the foam overflowed the carboy and it was a full time job trying to catch it in dish towels, what do you guys do about that (foam)?
Thanks ahead of time.
