I'm most likely jumping the gun, and I'll get told so - but I'll never know unless I outright ask...
My latest creation, a blonde composed of pale DME, a blonde LME, honey, and dex was put in the primary 8 days ago using Munton's yeast, unfortunately I don't know the strain - it came with the blonde kit. It started fermenting nicely, and did so for the first 2 days - then it slowed down.
* It's been still bubbling, although quite slowly now, for the past 8 days;
* Can see little (hopefully) blobs of yeasties floating up to the surface attached to a big bubble - then the sink back down
* Krausen during first few days never exceeded my first brew (a red ale, I had to add a blow-off for that one!)
* Drew a gravity today and it tasted fine and smelled fine; almost where I wanted it (a tad bit drier hopefully). Gravity measured at 1.010...
* It started to clear a bit near the top of the primary, still quite foggy for the remaining 3/4 of the fermenter.
All that being said - anything to worry about? I was going to let it sit in the primary for 2 weeks anyways before dry hopping with some cascade.
Further to this question - since I modified the original recipe, is there any idea what I should be expected for the final gravity?
Many thanks!
