Hey there! new here and am a little concerned about my situation...
basically, I bought a homebrew kit yesterday.. I boiled my "malt extract" added hops etc and after letting it cool, threw it in a carboy..( 5 gal carboy glass) following the instructions i used a blow off tube opposed to just straight up airlock and submerged one end in sanitized solution... by 12:00am (late at night) the beer was in carboy and the yeast was pitched (dry yeast) I did not rehydrate the yeast and there was nothing on the package other than "Brewers Yeast" i threw on my rubber seal/blow off tube and went to bed.. by waking up this morning the blow off tube had no foam or anything but was bubbling in the water jar about 2-3 times every 20-30 seconds or so... the foam was rising and i was extremely excited ( such a joy to see first beer fermenting =) ) anyways... unfortunetly the coldest i could get the room when i pitched the yeast was around 75-78 degrees... i threw on the AC and closed the door/ turned out the light.. btw, this is all being done in a bathroom i no longer use.. so today, (30 hours after pitching) i go back in to the brew room and there are no bubbles... the beer is a little lighter color and foam seems to have settled a little. no bubbles in the water jar and there looks to be little activity in the carboy (as far as swirling and bubbling) i do not have a hydrometer and never got a reading of OG... i could upload some pics if u think u could help figure out whats up... first tho let me take a shot in the dark and if someone could tell me if i blew it or not =D
i assume.. because of the high temp.. the yeast fermeneted a little fast, and although no signs of fermentation are evident.. its possible that the yeast is still eating away sugar? hmmm.... btw, the malt extract i bought was an amber ale... any help would be appreciated!! hope im alright- thanks!
