Have you taken a gravity reading? Airlock bubbles is not a sign of fermentation.

And heres the one i've been meaning to post. This is the half gallon i didnt put in the keg. I hope to bottle this for you in the next week or so. Look how pink it is!
Well Blue, we may have a problem. I am starting to think that there was something "added" to these strawberries that has made it turn so pink. I have been unable to taste it because i had my wisdom teeth taken out recently, hopefully monday or tuesday i can try it. I took a small sample the other day when checkig carbonation and it had a weird flavor. I chalked it up to the funky taste in my mouth from the meds. I had a friend try it tonight and he said it tasted like strawberry flavored water. Not like beer at all. Im wondering if the cheap berries had more than just color added to them and they created some off flavors? The base beer was great before adding the berries, so whatever has happened is due to the berries. Guess we'll see soon.

You may be ok. Wife told me she got them at Kroger, not Wal Mart, sorhe werent Great Value but some other off brand. I'm going to give it a few weeks before i consider dumping it and wont really know anything until i can taste it, but its not looking promising.
Bluelinebrewer said:Whew... ok, fingers are still crossed!! Ill give mine a taste on Monday when I transfer and let ya know how it goes!
So i had another brewer friend try it today. He said it tasted "spritzer-y". Almost like a wine cooler. His wife said "this would be the perfect summer drink". So i'm going to let it age awhile and see what happens.
Hey Blue, during today's marathon beer day, I finally sampled this. It's turning out to be pretty good. It is still pretty tart with a ton of strawberry flavor, but with age it is getting really good. At least now I know not to skip the terrtiary aging process and won't do that again! You may get some of this afterall!
