Making my first batch of beer, it's a pumpkin beer. It is fermenting in a 30L brewing bucket. Started fermentation on Monday, there is an two inch layer of foam, and about two and a half inches of sediment looking stuff on the bottom. Should I stir it or let it sit? Is that normal?
Also...
Thanks for the advise.
I don't remember the exact kind of yeast I used, but I believe it was vintner's harvest yeast, a wine making kind I was told.
I used a stored brand cider that was 100% juice with no preservatives added.
So this is my first batch of cider. My starting gravity was 1.07. I did 5 gallons of cider, 7 cups brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Let it sit for a week switched it over to a carboy to get some sediment out so I have roughly 4 to 4.5 gallons as I didn't transfer stuff near the bottom...
