I am a fairly new brewer as I am asking about my fourth batch.
I have made an extract Blood Orange Wheat
4lbs Wheat LME
3.3lbs light LME
4 blood oranges
1oz Hallertou
1oz Saaz
.5cup honey at F.O.
While Labs WLP 300 yeast

I cut the fruit and used a cheese grater to remove all of the white from the rind and the fruit. I boiled a pot of water and added the fruit and half the rinds to the water as it cooled the rest of the way. After that reached a comfortable 70 degrees and added it to my primary along with a half tsp energizer. OG 1.045

I re-racked and left fruit (showing some pellicle) in primary.

The airlock is still def showing signs of fermenting (Or something active) via bubbling and when I use the auto-siphon it foams like it is already carbonating. It doesn't have much of a carbonated mouth-feal or a weird taste from things like a gusher infection. At this point it tastes great. Great light flavor with a slight orange-grapefruity after finish. Only slight amount of bitterness present.
I was just wondering if the foaming is normal as I have not had it in any other batch at this point. Also, is this thing still crazy fermenting or if there are enough sugars in there to start carbonating and should I start bottling?
