hey all,
so I did a batch on Monday night of a IPA kit from the LHBS. It now seems to not be fermenting, or at least have no activity.
I didnt do my primary in my better bottle like i usually do, so i can see what is going on, i did it in a pale this time.
the activity never seemed to take off, at its highest peak, there were bubbles maybe every 6-10 seconds. Today when i got home from it there are no bubbles coming out of the lock.
I will be opening the lid to test the gravity to see how low it is.
on a side note-- i also did not hit my minimum SG... it was supposed to be between 1.055-1.060 and mine only got to 1.050. Im wondering if this has anything to do with it. although i highly doubt after 4 days of little activity it could be finished fermenting.
any ideas or advice on what to do if it has indeed stalled when i check for a second time tomorrow and the SG is not correct?
