Brown Foam

[boybyname]

Hi Guys,

Im all new to this and started my first rbrew this weekend.
got a gallon of mead bubbling away nicely but having some trouble with my turbo cider.

put 3l of apple juice (from concentrate) in a demijohn and a packet of yeast + some sugar. but now 36 hours later, brown foam has risen out of the bottle and through the airlock.. any one have any experience and tips before the foam swallows my entire wardrobe.

Cheers,

Boy

Sounds like you over filled your DJ. Wait for it to calm down a bit (maybe tomorrow) and then just clean out your airlock.

i only filled it 2/3, thought that would be enough. just didnt expect this amount of foam. will clean up and see how it goes and hope there is no contamination. have read some topics on here tho and will try a different brand/type of juice in a few weeks time, different ones seems to create different amounts of foam
