OK will do. Is it at all normal for the fermentation process to complete so quickly? Basically 3-4 days?

Thinking back- we used a smack pack yeast and I didn't realize that the pack had to sit for a couple hours to expand and we only waited a few minutes ( the bag was about half expanded) maybe the yeast didn't have a chance to do it's thing? just spit-balling.

So I took a hydrometer reading and i'm a bit confused- it's reading 1.010 with an OG of 1.050. Does this mean that the fermentaion is messed up? I looked in the airlock hole and there's no krauzen. Any thoughts? This is only my second batch...

All great words of advice, thanks. I'll take a reading in a few days and relax in the mean time. Thanks again

Hey guys, I brewed my second batch on Saturday ( a nutbrown ale extract with liquid yeast) and after around 24hrs it started to really bubble through the airlock ( 1 bubble every second) and then it shut right off to one every 15 seconds. Thoughts?

Hey mike from vancouver, just started brewing and looking forward to learning how to be a pro. thanks
