I brewed this on Sunday and pitched around 7pm...by 7am had some activity, by noon it was going hog wild (bubbling like mad) and continued through monday night. Oddly enough, when I checked it yesterday it was down to 1 bubble every 4 secs or so and krausen had dropped...huh?...it's only been two days? Can't be... |

Ignore the airlock. It means NOTHING.
The yeast are dialed back, cleaning up after themselves, and finishing the job. Follow the original directions, let it ferment for at least 10 days, then take a hydro reading. The bubbles in the airlock mean NOTHING.

This I know...I was just surprised that the krausen had dropped within 48 hours of pitching. Strange.

Nottingham yeast is quite often finished with the major work in 24 hours. It's a machine. Be patient though, there is still cleanup work to be done. I always let my beers ferment 10 to 2 weeks before crash cooling.

Did this one again but with 1.5 oz Cascade FWH 0.25 oz. Cascade at 15 min. and 0.25 oz. Cascade at 5 min.
Simply amazing, brought the bitterness down just a tad, but the hop flavor and aroma is ten fold better than before.

I'll be brewing a second batch next week and wondered if it would be better to pour the wort right on to the yeast cake from my first batch or just go with new yeast?

Brewing this for my second AG. I brewed it for my 1st Ag too but terrible efficiency. This time will hope to hit 1.050 at min and if not bought a pound of extra light dry malt in case so I dont end up with a bitter 3.8% beer again. This was my 1st AG also, and thought I followed what I read in books and on here but somewhere something went wrong. Wish me luck!

This one takes the prize for fastest 5G batch to disappear....
Everybody loves it, the wife, all the relatives that normally are wine'ers. Even I like it although it is a little "light" but with the hot days we have right now.
And the darn thing just keeps getting better and better until it is all gone, and you sit there wishing you had more....
Got to get that extra batch going as the keg is getting might light, really fast.

I just kegged this and it came out bad, really bad. It tastes like soap. It was good after primary but bad after secondary. I'm thinking maybe I didn't rinse the secondary carboy good enough,
