hi I'm a bit worried I've just knocked up a coopers stout kit with 500 g extra dark spray malt and 1kg of demerara sugar and as I was topping it up with water the froth went mental about 5 inches I stired it a bit to loose the froth but only got it down to about 2 inches I then put the yeast in and the froth made it impossible to stir In. Will it be ok when the froth goes and the yeast sinks into the wort or will the yeasty froth make more froth and keep the yeast off the wort? I'm tempted to get more yeast and turkey bastet it below froth level then stir
and thought ?
Cheers
 
Hope so
do you think the demerara sugar was a good move or not along side 500 g of spray malt
I was gonna use black treacle but got scared off by other peoples experiences
 
i put my yeast on to a good 1.5-2 inch of froth on my latest batch, 4 days on its much the same as my previous batch's.

t'll be fine :thumb:
 
I always pitch my yeast onto froth. Works fine :thumb:
 
I pitch onto froth usually but my last but one brew I waited a day or so and nothing was happening so I lifted the lid and it was like a cake on top of the brew, I stirred it with a sanitised spoon and it started to ferment a few hours later :party:

I was worried tho', but bottled it this weekend and all is good
