I received a homebrewing kit for christmas and last sunday I broke it open and decided to start my first batch. Before doing anything though I read the directions that came with the kit/ingredients and watched a few of the homebrew videos that were available on youtube for an idea of what I was doing, what to look for, etc.
The kit that I received had 2 3.3 cans of amber malt, 1 lb crystal grains, 1 oz cascade hops, and 2 packets of yeast.
I completed the boil and put the wort into my primary fermenter. Now in the directions that I had said to use two packets of yeast so I did. I then capped my primary bucket and put the air lock in. I placed the container in a corner near my baseboard heat. Temp of the room is usually around 62 degree or so.
Basically now it has been about 3 days where the wort is fermenting. The first few days I could see the airlock bubbling pretty quickly however yesterday and this morning I havent seen any activity. I am due to transfer it to the primary fermenter thursday morning but the lack of airlock activity is kind of worrying me.
Did I do something wrong? Was I not supposed to use 2 packs of yeast?
