have i done something wrong

[easty]

hi guy's
i have just started a second brew of youngs brewbuddy lager, when the first attempt was fermenting the froth on the surface was clean and white. this time it is covered with a very dark brown layer that looks abit like tar. i had some light brown stuff on surface when i was doing coopers austrailian, but no-where near this much or this dark. is this a bad sign ?

You're safe as this is normal.

Different yeast strains behave differently. The only thing wrong with your brew is that it's lager

worrying is all part of the learning curve!

No need to worry about it, it's fine based on what you're brewing.

A true IPA is a fearsome beast for the uninitiated. Next time you're in the supermarket buy a bottle of something like Marstons Old Empire and try it. Stouts don't have to be harsh.
