Hi group.
I guess for the benefit of everyone I need to start at the beginning;
I'm a complete noob!
8 days (8/21) ago I put five gallons of heavy Scottish ale in the fermenter.
The Muntons instructions said to wait 2 days to transfer it to second stage.
I read on the 'net that I should wait until the bubbling slowed down.
so I waited four days (8/25) then siphoned off the top liquid and transferred to second stage fermentation.
In the first 2 days after the transfer my 'bell' in the airlock was 'floating' indicating that there was gases being produced that were raising it.
By Saturday the bell had fallen and it has stayed down as of now.
I'm very certain that the yeasts have stopped working and I need to know what to do now.
