first post, first brew; so be nice
i did this kit as my first go on Friday
Irish Red Ale w/ **Fermentis Safale US-05 11.5 gm dry yeast**
the fermenter has been at a pretty steady 73 degrees and within the first 24 hours, the air lock was working away like a champ (one bubble per second). then it went dormant. nothing.
i took a hydrometer reading last night and it was around 1.15. newb mistake on not taking a reading before initial seal-up.
so to my question: could it be that the fermentation is done already? instructions on the kit said to wait about two weeks! i tasted it, and it was sweet, couldn't taste any alcohol.
