Hello. This is my first time posting on here, so let the chips fall where they may.
Just boiled up my 4th brew - a very chocolate stout. Sprinkled in a pack of Irish-Type ale yeast, then I put a big blanket on it next to a central air vent (it's pretty hot here). Within a few hours it was chuggin' away.
My question is... It stopped bubbling completely within 3 days! Seems a bit on the quick side for me. This wasn't a light beer even for a stinky drunk German. Very heavy starting gravity.
So...I transfered it all to the secondary fermenter, added water (to bring it up to 5 gallons) to make up for the leftover losses from the massive sediment and yeast poo, and let it sit a couple more days.
No bubbles! Do I have troubles?
