Ok, so I am in the midst of brewing my first batch of beer.
Time it took from start to transferring the wort into the carboy
3.25 hours.
I am making a light ale
I began by boiling the water, adding the malt, continuously stirred, added two rounds of hops and then let that boil as well.
I then cooled the wort to 75 before the transfer, added yeast, after the transfer.
Put the airlock on (capped airlock), and brought the batch to my garage, where it is in perfect conditions.
This was all done on september 24th, I have about 4 Gallons worth brewed.
I have been checking the batch every day, and for the first few days, there was some foam, that resided. I have yet to see ANY activity in the airlock.
Not sure what I have done wrong, or why there is no activity.
any ideas???
Thanks.
