Hello all,
I was delighted to receive a brewing kit for my birthday last weekend and started it up the very same day. The fermenting bucket has been bubbling away happily and there was some froth build up over the last couple of days. It looks as though the froth has fallen back, but I can see through the fermenting bucket that there are a few scattered patches of brown left over on the side of the bucket. I assume this is yeast that was carried up in the froth and deposited when the bubbles died down.
My question is: should I scrape that stuff back down into the ferment, or is that just kind of an expected part of the fermenting process that I shouldn't worry about?
Thanks!
