Well it's been 5 days, and the bubbles stopped at 3. I know that isn't a good way to measure if it's done fermenting, but I decided to quickly get a reading on my hydrometer. I guess I should explain what I'm brewing;
The recipe said Summer Beer, yet no fruit or fruity flavors were added:
4lbs light malt extract (Gold)
2 lbs Rice Syrup Solids
1/2 oz Hallertau hops for first flavoring
1/2 oz Saaz hops for second flavoring
1/4 oz of Saaz hops for aromatic
and I used a package of Coopers Pure Brewery Yeast 15g
This recipe came from Home Beermaking by William Moore, it came with my starter kit form Midwest Supplies.
In the very bad brewing instructions in this book, it says to transfer after 2-3 days, though i thought that was way too early. So now it's day 5, the hydrometer reads 1.10, which is where it's supposed to be I believe.
Should I transfer it and just let it sit in the secondary a little longer, or wait a full week?
On a side note, I noticed there is no foam at the top of the brew, but there seems to be a little crust. Is this normal, or did something go wrong?
