This is my first hard cider brew and first brew in general.
I was just wondering if a thick foam at the top before fermentation has begun is normal. It’s had the foam since I shook the fermenter vigorously when adding honey and yeast.
I made sure to really remove any soap before washing in diluted star San but I’m worried I might not have done a good enough job.
I’ve attached a photo of my brew about 2 hours after mixing it all together. Could anyone tell me if this is normal or if it could be due to not washing away the soap well enough?
If anyone is curious or it matters I used apple cider (without any additives), honey, pectic enzyme, fermaid o, and ec-1118 yeast.
