Hi Everyone,
I am new to brewing and I got a Coopers Home Brew kit for Fathers Day (You Beauty!) and I am hoping this will be the start of a great hobby. I have been reading some of the posts in this forum and have already learnt heaps about the world of brewing.
But I need some help already........I put my brew on at 9pm on Monday night, I pitched the yeast at 22 degrees and everything looked fine (to my novice eyes)
Tuesday I checked my brew and it was bubbling away happily, so I was content that the fermentation process had started and it was sitting nicely at 26 degrees.
This morning Wednesday at 6:30am I got up and checked the brew first thing and.........there is foam now coming out of the air lock. It is still sitting at 26 degrees, doesnt look like there is any water in the air lock, just foam, and every now and again more foam gets spewed out of the top.
So many questions......Is this a problem? Is my brew ruined? Do I need to do something?? or leave it as is? Should I remove the airlock and clean it out and fill with water again?? The fact that more foam is coming out, doesnt that mean it is still fermenting?? HELLLPP!!!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks heaps.
Cheers,
Az
