Brewed just my 2nd batch on Friday (took off from work to do it - not a bad way to spend a day off!) ... double IPA. Everything about Brew Day was smooth (the wort tasted good), but by Sunday I was worried that I didn't see any bubbles in my airlock. On Tuesday, I still hadn't seen any bubbles so I went to my LHMS and got some more yeast, but today read a thread that said to use my hydrometer and that bubbling airlocks are not a given.
I notice that there's a layer of trub on the inside of the bucket, so I take that to be a good sign. My OG was 1.100 - today is 1.000 ... what should I be expecting this to go down to? Also, the beer I drew for the reading had that "homebrew" smell and taste to it (hard to describe, but it's sort of off and I've had it happen to all of my brews).
Thanks for being patient with a noob!
