Ok - here goes....so I started my first batch last Sunday (NB Nut Brown Ale). I never saw any bubbling in the airlock (think ( have a leaky lid). Yesterday I opened the lid and it looks like there is a bit of bubbling going on, but not the frothing that I've seen talked about. The stuff sure smells good! I took a hydrometer reading and it came out as 1.01. I took another reading this morning (sunday) of 1.01. Looking at the beer, it seems that there are at least as many bubbles on the surface now as Friday, maybe more. Also, the smell of the batch has gone from "sweet" to a bit more tart, like the smell at a brewery. Right now I plan on leaving it in the primary for another few days and then bottle. Does anyone disagree?? Thanks for any input.
