I was brewing a raspberry beer from Beer Master Bible.
Ingredients
7 lbs pale malt extract
1t Irish Moss
1 1/2oz Hallertau leaf hops for bittering
1/2oz hallertau leaf hops for finishing
Windsor Ale Yeast
6lbs of raspberry
When I put them all into the fermenter, I accidentally stepped on my air lock. So I placed the normal piece in then put a cup on top to try and prevent bacteria from entering. The yeast exploded over and I was able to buy a second air lock. I inserted the second air lock and used a clean spoon to scrape down the extra yeast back into the wort. I stirred the fermenter to help mix the mixture. Now I don't have any bubbling and am unsure of what has happened. Please comment on what has happened and how to fix it. Also, how can I tell when my beer is done fermenting because I do not see any bubbling.
