Hello,
I was told my beer would have to ferment for 2 weeks. I have not been home too much because of travel, but I have been having my friends check on it.
The beer is kept in a colder, dark basement, however it is in San Jose california, and temperature outside regularly reaches 80 degrees. I am not sure what the temperature is in the basement, but I do know it is significantly cooler.
My Housemate just checked on my beer and he said the airlock stopped moving and the bubbles are gone. As I am not there to take a gravity reading or take the temperature, I am not sure what went wrong - If anything.
So, help a fellow new brewer out... Is it dead? Should I just wait 2 weeks like it says? What should I do?
