Hey guys, i am kinda a noon to homebrewing, so any help i get will be greatly appreciated.
two weeks ago i brewed my first IPA. The airlock was bubbling like crazy for a few days and then it quieted down.
Today as i was preparing for secondary fermentation and dry hopping, i realized there was no water in my airlock. I don't know how long ago this problem started, but is there any way to check if the beer is still good?
If i wasn't going to add more hops i would just wait it out, but it would be a pity to waste good hops on a bad beer
I have attached two pictures of the brew, do these look like a normal beer or is this what a spoiled beer looks like.
TIA
