Exactly a week ago my friend and I made a Brewers Best Irish Stout. On Monday morning I woke up to the airlock covered and flowing out with krausen... I read on here to create a blowoff tube, but I had to get to work, and I didn't have the right size tube at the time... so I pulled the airlock out, wiped everything down with 3% hydrogen peroxide, cleaned the airlock and put it back in... at lunch, I picked up the right size tube and created the blow off which worked great. Well, about Thurs (4th day from start) it quit bubbling. I left it alone and yesterday decided to place it in my secondary. When I removed the airlock the krausen had hardened up around the bottle neck and kept any air from escaping, which is probably why it wasn't bubbling. Anyhow, it is now in my secondary and there are no bubbles or air coming up... I'm wondering if maybe I messed up and now there isn't enough yeast to bottle or if it is done and non-recoverable. I was planning on leaving it in the secondary for two weeks before bottling... would just like some advice on if it is still headed in the right direction or not... any advice would be greatly appreciated...
