If I remove the cup then put it back on, the bubbles are maybe a 1"+ from the top, after a bit, they'll rise higher. Though a little foam will overflow into the cup, seems skimmate is produced by bubbles hitting the lid, breaking and falling into the cup.

The skimmate will be liquid with solids suspended, but don't expect a syrup or tar. From mine the colour varies but it's like a dark green to brown really, really cloudy soup.

I take mine out and give the whole thing a good cleaning every few months. For the first few days after, the skimmate will be lighter and clearer before settling in.

As for adjustment, on the G3 there's none other than the riser.
