Does this look right?

Hi all. First time brewer here.

I checked my wort which has been fermenting for 3-4 days now. The airlock activity has subsided for the past 24 hours, so I wanted to check the gravity. I wasn't expecting to find this brown, mudlike foam on the sides of the pail. Is this normal?

The gravity came out right spot on, and I siphoned it over to the carboy.

Thanks

Paul

That looks normal to me.

Here it is in the carboy.

perfectly fine all that gunk on the sides is just dried up foam from when your beer was at high krausen.

I was gonna say that depends on what it is.....but since that wouldn't be helpful, I won't.

It's the stuff that makes cleaning your fermenter so much fun

Why are people racking to secondary after only 3-4 days? Who is teaching them these methods?
