I've got 2 one gallon batches brewing.. one red ale and the other a summer wheat.. I used dried Nottingham for both and both of these have a strange foam forming on the top and sides of the carboy... I opened up the red ale because the foam clogged up my airlock.. so I sanatized a spoon and push the foam down a little and the texture if it threw me off. It almost feels spongy or rubbery as opposed to foamy.. after pushing it down it's kind of just sitting submerged under the wort as a solid.. kind of looks like a brain... Is this normal? And it's been about 2 weeks and isn't getting much smaller..Will it dissapate or should I just syphone around it. I doubt it's infection, because it smells great. Also this was my first time using Irish moss tablets. I used one tablet per batch and realized after that the tablets are probably ment for 5 gallon batches , not one. Could this be the cause?
Thanks in advance for the help.
