Hi,
I am brand new here and to brewing. I brewed my first batch a few days ago and had a question for you. It took about 24 hrs to get going, got a nice layer of foam and was bubbling like a clock. It is now approaching 48hrs since pitching and the fermenting appears to have stopped. No activity I can see in the airlock and the foam basically fell flat.
It is an amber ale, and has been at a steady 69-72 degrees in a 6.5g carboy.
I took a sample today to see progress, here are what my numbers look like:
OG: 1.05 and gravity for today: 1.02. I see it made progress, which is good, it seems to be at about 3.1%ABW. About normal?
Is it really done? I plan on just keeping it in for a week total, maybe check gravity in a few days, see if it's still going, just slow?
BTW it tasted great, no funny taste yet, just warm and flat. Thanks
