Not sure if my batch is fermenting properly

[Sniperspyder]

Hey all!

I am new to all grain brewing and my first batch is in the fermenter. I brewed it Sunday and here it is Thursday. I am not sure if this is going properly as I see only mini-micro bubbles in the airlock and the following photo view. Any input or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

WHat's the current gravity? That's how you know how your beer's fermenting....It's really odd telling an All grain brewing to use their hydrometer. I use that and a refractomter constantly during the process, from preboil grav readings on.....That's usually the advice we give noob brewing doing their first extract batch. Not someone brewing AG where more attention to details like that need to be paid attention to.

The really important question is... did your girlfriend decorate your carboy?

I figured he bought it off an aging hippiebrewer....or was one himself.

Gravity reading is going down, started at about 1.055 and now sitting at 1.014. So I should be good to go.

Yes she did decorate it as a matter of fact, her contribution to the process!

Thanks for the help.

I swear I once had a one gallon iced tea jug that is decorated exactly the same way.

I thought that thing looked familiar! I used to make sun tea with one of those while at work.

We had 2 of'em. Wore'em out years ago,they were the spigot kind. Had to go to Super Wally World to get another one.
