Hey everyone,
I am super new to this. Just got my first kick and have a batch of Irish Stout fermenting now. Now I choose to use WyEast (liquid) because I was told it was better. The first day it bubbled like crazy (after 8 hours) It as bubbling about once every second or faster. That was Friday. It is now Monday and it has slowed down quite a bit. 22 seconds between burps.
So is this a normal rate of decline? If it stops all together do I put it in the secondary even if a week isn't up yet.
One guy told me that 90 secs between burps, put it in the secondary.
Oh, and I don't have to add anything to the secondary from what I see in the instructions, it just goes in and the airlock goes on top and I wait. Is that right?
Thanks a million in advance.
