Hey all,
I started my very first brew on Saturday. Just using a pretty standard Munich Lager brewkit. I was worried that I may have put the yeast in while it was too hot, room temp was around 29C. I know it was properly a bad idea, I was in a hurry and was not thinking.
However it did start bubbling, a few times every few seconds. So I put a wet towel around the fermenter to cool it down. It now sits at about 24C, but on Monday it stoped bubbling, it may bubble once it I knock the fermenter but otherwise it sits still.
I was wondering is this bad? I thought it should not stop for 7 days or longer. Did I ruin my brew? If so what should I do?
Thanks everyone, and yes it is a HOT start to the summer here in Australia.
