So I made my second batch this morning....first batch was made with Mott's, and this time with Tree Top.
The first go around, I had no problem w/ foaming...took me just under 15 (w/out sanitation) to make the batch. Great!
This time, there was foam for days! I checked the bottles and got the right juice...used the same amount of sugar- but when it came time to add the last 3 gallons and the yeast, it took FOREVER for the foam to die down!
When I mean to say it took forever, I watched TWO episodes of Sunny in Philadelphia and the foam hadn't budged. I had to go to sleep, so I finished any way. I had to just pull the funnel out, pour slowly, and wipe away the foam that was spilling out of the carboy! Now there's a little foam left after 8 hours...what went wrong? Did I shake too much?
