First time brewing. I tried to make a pale ale from grains w/ extracs. When i first put my airlock on it started bubbling within a couple minutes now i've had nothing for about 36 hours. Is this normal?
Thanks
Thanks
when you first put the airlock on it will bubble just for gasses being released from being moved around or transfer from the boil kettle.
You should show signs of fermentation within 48 hours, but usually it happens much faster.
If it doesn't show signs of fermentaion within that first 48 hours should i pitch more yeast
My O.G. was high (1.085). I think this was because I took my reading before i mixed my wort with the water in my fermenter. What type of reading should i be getting if i check it in 10 days.
thanks for the advice
I think you'd have to post your recipe/ingredients before anyone could guess your final gravity reading you should expect.

thanks Everyone.

I opened the lid and saw A LOT OF KRAUSEN. So much that I had to resist the temptation to make a beard and mustache out of it. hahahahaha. I'm going to give it 10 days until I check S.G. again.
Thanks
I used 1 smack pack wyeast 1056. I pitched it at about 60 degrees, and my fermenter is in a room at about 60/65 degrees. when i started i took the yeast out and activated it about 2 hours before pitching. it didn't swell up that much though. I'm using a bucket and haven't checked for kreausen yet.
