I did my first batch on Saturday. Saw bubbles in air lock on Sunday with a layer of Krausen. Today nothing.
It's the Irish Red extract kit from MidWest. HAd everything nice and clean, and starsaned the snot out of everything. I did a full boil with 6 gallons and finished up right at 5 gallons. I cooled it in an ice bath and got it down to 70* in about 20 minutes. I followed Palmers how to brew to rehydrate the dry yeast and pitched just above 70. I have it in a fridge with a controller holding around 68*. I checked it Sunday afternoon and it looked like it was kicking a long as it should. Saw bubbles in the air lock so I popped the lid and it had a layer of krausen. Left it a lone until today and when I checked it there were no bubbles in the airlock and the krausen was gone.
Are you going to tell me I junked it or to leave it alone and have another beer?
