I just placed a stout into the secondary fermentor yesterday. I notice when I removed the lid form the primary, there was still a heavy layer of foam (1/2 to 3/4 inches thick and covering the entire top surface) or krausen on the top surface. This batch showed activity in the air lock for the better part of 9 days straight and was in he primary for a total of 15 days. Of course, when moving to the secondary I had seen no additional activity in the airlock for about 1 week. is it possible that additional fermentation had yet to take place? can a beer be through fermentation with the foam layer still on the top? Thanks for your help!!!!!!
