I just started a mash on Friday night and it is now Sunday.  My mash is made of 1.25 pounds of cornmeal, 5 pounds of sugar, 5 gallons of water, and 2 teaspoons of yeast as said. My mash had started to bubble right away but by morning it stopped. I added some more yeast after letting it sit with water and sugar in a warm jar for 20 mins then added it to the mash. Today it is still not bubbling but the top layer of my mash is a white foam. What does that mean?
