I would leave the pH alone.

Foam proves something is fermenting and the protein is forming the foam. Dark beers can Potter along. No panic.

Is it a big 2inch cap that looks really foamy or just a thin layer of floaty bits. Think washing up suds - before you start or when you finished.


I would think its fine. Beer starts well and easy. It ferments quickly and is relatively low alcohol.

How long has it been?

The beer has been going for 5 days now, should I switch off the heaters, it's in my living romm so quite warm still, I can move to the workshop?
I was planning to put it in to 2L pop bottles with a bit of sugar as I don't have a presurised barrel.



I use 2+2+2. 2 weeks @ 20. 2 weeks cool (racked off if bottling). 2 weeks conditioning @ 20c in bottles or kegs. If you want real ale effect use ½ teaspoon of sugar per beer bottle.

Net yeast is different.

The cap will settle down. Beer will be finished in 5 days, but benefits from being left on the yeast for for 2 weeks.

Are you bottling it?

Get some safale beer yeast. I sachet per tin. Safale 04 is a solid performer for brown beer.

If they are lager kits. Use the lager yeast.

Is they end up tasting shite, you can always recover the alcohol.

If I got some propper yeast would these work or would it be more humane to line them up on my fence and let my 12 guage put them out of their missery?

Bread yeast and Canned beer kits make terrible beer, but may make a decent spirit. ;)
