Hi all

Just had a go a "Coopers Canadian Blond", first time this brew. Whilst
bottling there was a lot more froth than I am used to seeing, had to let
it settle and top up each bottle individually.

Other than being a very minor pain, I am concerned this maybe an
indication that the brew has been contaminated or some such thing I
should know about.

Anyone had similar experiences or can offer advice?

Thanks

Ian

If you are using one of those bottle fillers that is a plastictube with a
foot valve, that could be the problem. Those come with wine making supplies
and can be a pain. With a 3 foot head pressure, that valve pushes the beer
out side ways and creates foam. I went back to just a plastic tube with a
pinch clamp - doesn't agitate the beer and makes filling less tedious. Hope
this helps.
