My beer "over fermented"...

[Intrevix]

Hey guys,

So, I brewed a batch on the weekend, popped the airlock on and it blew right off within 8 hours. So, I did a bit of searching on the forums and made a blow-off tube.

This was all 24 hours ago and now when I take a look at the carboy there is a distinct layer of "gunk" stuck to the top of the carboy, however, there is a distinct space between the liquid and this stuff.

My question is, should I be reincorporating it back into the beer or just leave it how it is?

Cheers!

Just leave it.....

It will be beer.

Yeah, you're fine. Proceed good sir.

Leave it.

That is just krausen. Every single beer I put into a carboy looks like that. No big deal.

yes

There's no such thing as "over fermentation" it's not like it fermented more sugar than it should have. You just had a very active and messy fermentation. It's perfectly normal and happens to all of us on occasion.
