Condensation in top of glass carboy

[Brett3rThanU]

This is my first batch of beer and it has been sitting in the secondary now for 8 days. I struggled with the fermentation temp a little in the beginning, but have since put the carboy in a bucket of water and wrapped a wet t-shirt around it. This morning I woke up and took a peak only to find condensation inside the carboy on the top part, is this bad? Also, even after 8 days in the secondary there is still a head of foam on the top, about 1/4", is that bad?

Its fine, leave it alone... just keep the temps at or lower than 70 if possible

It's staying between 66 - 70 now. What about the layer of foam still on top after 8 days in the secondary? I don't see a lot of action in the airlock, but that foam is still there. I know I racked a little early into the secondary...

If you racked early, you might have fermentation in the clearing tank. It's ok, but for your next batch don't rack until the beer is done.
