Hello all,
I am new to the forum and brewing in general and have run into my first possible problem. I bought a wilkinson no boil kit and followed the instructions to the letter. So far, so good. However after 36 hours the airlock stopped bubbling and I fear the fermentation is stuck because of the temperature variation where I am storing the fermentor. I measured the temperature changes in the room and they go from 15C at night to about 22C when the heating is on. I know I can't be sure if it has stuck without an SG reading but since it is my first batch I don't want to run the risk of contamination. Is this temperature range acceptable or should I take a reading?
Thanks in advance
