Should I be concerned?
I put in a Festa Brew cream ale in the primary fermenter 6 days ago. The action in the airlock had stopped, so I removed the lid to check the final gravity before transferring to the carboy. This is what I found. The final gravity is bang on where it should be, but I've never had a beer remain be foamy before. Is this infected or is this normal?

Looks fine to me. I think that is leftover krausen

Transferred to carboy. All seems to be good. It just seems to be a foamy beer. Had to wait to put the airlock on the carboy after stirring in the clearing agent because of foam. Thanks!

Re: Should I be concerned?
I'm responding late, but it looks perfectly normal. the cream ale leaves more residue in the vessels than their darker worts during fermentation. i lost 3 litres just trying to keep the siphon in clear liquid during transfer and bottling. I left my cream ale in carboy 10 days more than suggested and it made a whole lot of difference.
