Default APPLE FOAM???

Hi gang,
I'm making an apple wine with store-bought juice and I've got a problem
I don't recall seeing before. The primary fermentation is almost complete,
the airlock bubbles about 6-8 times per minute in the 6 gallon carboy, but
the wine has still got a pretty fair number of bubbles remaining on the
surface; about 20% of the surface is covered in bubbles about 1/4" deep. Is
this a bad sign? I adjusted the acidity when making it, and I went for a
high alcohol and sugar content. Potential alcohol is about 17%!!! I did not
use any yeast nutrients or pectic enzymes......
Anybody got any suggestions???
Am I screwed???? LOL!!!
Bob
