Hi gang - n00b question.
At the 19 hour mark after putting into my primary, my belgian ale showed a nice thick 1 inch kreusen, creamy white color.
About 24 hours since then, the kreusen has now settled down into about a 1/8 inch thick layer, very dark. I continue to bubble out of my fermentation lock about every 4-5 seconds.
Yes, being a noob, I forgot to take my gravity sample, so I can't do a hydrometer check to see if I am stable.
The fermenter is at 73degF right now
I used a Wyeast slap-pack Belgian Abbey II.
I'd relax and have a homebrew, but this is my first batch and don't have any yet.
Should I be concerned? Should I syphon into my 5 gal secondary carboy soon?
