Well I have done a couple of Mr. Beer kits and I decided to step up to the plate of doing a 5 gallon batch. I got an IPA kit from Austin Homebrewing and followed the directions. I started it on Saturday. So far there is very little activity in the airlock which I know isn't the biggest indicator but I was wondering about it so I did open it and it is definitely bubbling, just not a lot. I did draw a sample out with a santized wine thief and it tasted pretty watery. I'm having a suspicion that not enough water boiled off.
Am I basically stuck with a watered down beer? Or am I just being paranoid and it's far to soon to tell?
