Hopefully some new brewers read this and learn from me haha.
My buddy and I have brewed over 100 gallons since may, never had a problem. I consider myself more than a new brewer, a novice/amateur if you may (by no means a pro or expert). I pitched yeast on Sunday in a brew and saw no bubbles in the blowoff...I got scared and today I opened to take a hydrometer sample. To my surprise there was plenty of krausen and the hydro sample even showed a 2 point drop in gravity!
I fell for the old "no bubbles!!! Is it fermenting?" trick. Anyway, since I had never seen this happen I just wanted to give you new guys more proof that no bubble does not mean no fermentation. Trust in your brew I say!
