Hello, all. I am new to the forum.
I just started my first homebrew, using a pre-hopped extract for English Pale Ale.
It's been fermenting for about 60 hours now. During this time, the fastest I've seen the airlock bubble is about 10 times per minute. Now it is down to about 6 times per minute. And when it does bubble, it's hardly what you would call "vigorous". The bubble just slowly forms on the surface of the water and then pops. But it is so subtle that it does not even make a sound.
In addition, there are no sounds emanating from the pail itself, and there is no aroma yet. If I put my nose close to the bucket, I can smell a little something, but it is definitely not powerful.
Does this sound abnormal? Many people post about the "vigorous" bubbling that they are getting, and I'm just not seeing that.
Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks!
Rob
