Ok. So i bought the bed bath and beyond kit (wine) awhile back and that turned out ok. So i decided to do beer so i dont have to wait for the finished product. I bought a kit to make beer and started this past weekend.
Brewing went well and smelled great and I reactivated the yeast before i pitched it. I got the temp down to around 75ish and put the yeast in and sealed the lid and air locked it. Was 11pm. Woke up the next morning and it was bubbling full steam ahead. God home from work found the temp got a little warm in the room and the temp was 72 of the Wert. So i cooled down the wert over night and the next morning it was down to 69 and was hardly bubbling at all. The air comming from the air lock smelled good. so i let it sit while i was at work. Came home and checked it and wasnt bubbling hardly at all. So i opened the bucket up and checked everything the foam at the top looked good and smelled good. So i stir'ed it up and resealed it and everything seemed good and started bubbling again twice a minute.
I think this is ok from what I am reading. I found that dry yeast will ferment faster than liquid yeast. Sometimes 1-2 days and done. The next batch i will use liquid yeast. So im just making sure everything is on track and still ok to proceed with fermentation and rack it in 5-7 days to the secondary fermentation vessel.
Thanks
