I think I am alright, but I figured I'd run it past everyone.
BB Altbier Extract kit.
Had a pretty rapid visible fermentation, large head of Krausen and a bunch of bubbles (yea I know it ain't a real indicator) for the first 48 hours. Krausen fell in after about 3 days, bubbling almost down to nothing, and had two straight days of steady and projected FG, racked to secondary on 8th day. Gonna let it sit another week or two and bottle, no visible fermentation except that if I push the airlock piece down, a few hours later it has been lifted up again, haven't watched long enough to see any bubbles.
I know I am doing the first batch quick, the kit says 4-6 days in primary, and I gave it 8 with proper readings. I wanted a quick first batch, since once I have 50+ bottles of beer in the fridge, I'll have no choice but to let my second batch sit for awhile.
Anything I should be worried about?
Oh, and it tastes ok so far, I figure it will go form ok to good during bottle conditioning.
