I I have started my first batch of beer from a kit I started it on monday afternoon around one o'clock I then went out when returned around ten there didn't seem to be any activity from the airlock at all so I grabbed my paddle and gave it a little stir and within a few seconds of putting the lid and the airlock back on it started bubbling steadily.
It's now wednesday an it's still bubbling steadily and I was having my breakfast in the kitchen an my wife asks me have you farted ?? To which I reply no and then hear the airlock bubble again so I sniffed the top of the airlock and it seems to be coming from my beer?? Is this normal or have I got a bad batch ? I can't describe the smell exactly at the moment because I then had to head off to work but any help wold be appreciated.
The kit was a coopers euro lager and the SG was 1.032 to start with or it could have been 1.320 I haven't got my notes with me but I worked it out with the 0.5% ABV added for priming in my secondary it would be roughly 3.9%.
