Hey folks, cause i've been desperately looking for procrastination devices (I'm in the uni exam fortnight at the moment) I decided to brew up my Coopers lager kit that came with my 21st present immediately instead of waiting until a non-weekend day to buy more cool stuff and brewing up something nicer.
I decided to do this by the book/video to make sure it turned out well.
There is a bit in the video where Paul Mercurio says to pour in some of your cold water using the wort tin so you can get as much of that wort in the brew as possible.
I did this, and i'm not sure if its my water or if its meant to happen but it made the tin really frothy. Like uber head etc
I'm thinking, well paul told me to do this, so I pour it in a couple of times and go back to using a water bottle to fill it up once the tin is looking pretty clean. I sprinkle my yeast on the top and wait.
And wait.
And wait.
My problem is this foamy stuff is still evident in the fermentor, and I think its prevented the yeast from reaching the wort. These is no evidence of fermentation and the OG hasn't gone down over 3 days.
Is it safe for me to open up the fermenter and fold in the yeast into the wort trying to reduce the oxygenation as much as possible? Or how else do I try and fix this up
Cheers for bits of advice.
Btw my first brew is happily bottled and has been sitting on the floor of the spare bathroom for 4 days now, I dont know how you guys have the patience to let it mature properly
