Frothy smugglers

[chrisstrong_86]

After fermenting for 12 days my smugglers special has reached 1012-1014 but has kept a slight frothy krausen over the top, is this ok?

I may have been brewing at lower temperatures than intended as I bought this thermometer from Hop and grape:

Which seems to read 2 degrees higher than my standard wilko youngs home brew one. So I believe I may have been breing at 15 degrees, thus a slower fermentation. (tho I used the nottingham yeast which can brew at these temps)

I stired the beer gently two days ago and added some yeast nutrient, at that time it was 1020ish. and i let the temeperature reach 20degrees on my theremometer from hop and grape.

So am I ok to keg, or should I wait untill the froth has gone?
Annoying about inconsistancies in thermometers, the hop and grape one was considerably more money, but maybe wrong.

Cheers

Great! cheers Daab,
All my other kits had cleared after fermentation so I had assumed the froth had meant something was wrong.

Thanks
