First brew of beer....Should I be concerned? It's been 5 days. It was bubbling good for the first 3. Tapered off yesterday and then it barely bubbles now. Did I do something wrong? Time to rack?

Sounds about right. Did you take a hydrometer reading?

Sounds perfectly normal. Give it a couple more days for the yeast to keep working, then rack to secondary (ideally for two weeks).

As the others said, it's doing exactly what it should do.

Gibe yourself a pat on the back.

Definately take a hydrometer reading, because my bock stopped bubbling in the airlock for a full day. Then when I was ready to rack to the seciondary, it began bubbling again, and my fg reading wasnt there yet. But Im sure this is rare, I would just take the reading to be sure! Good job though!
