Not sure myself.

I have had a very light beer in primary for about 15 days now. I had been worried that my krausen seemed to be taking a little long to drop, but it looks like it has finally dropped. There are some floaties remaining though. It looks to me like it is probably bloated hop pellets. Is it okay to...

Hi. I have had a creamy wheat beer fermenting since friday night. Thje temperature in the Philly area rose into the high 80's today, and i seem to have lost all bubbling. I know that airlock is no serious indication as far as whether or not fermentation has stopped; and I also know that there...
