Ah. Good to know. The recipe calls for secondary for better "smoothness and clarity." Again, I appreciate all your help. I'm very relieved.

Again, I'm new, but I thought gravity was supposed to fall during fermentation. It says on recipe sheet that OG should be 1.057-1.062 and FG should be 1.014-1.017. So it appears to be on the right path. It does smell like beer.

What a relief! I will seal it and leave it. Should I just go on as planned, and transfer to Carboy for secondary after 6 days?

Also, you are correct, no yeast starter, and the recipe sheet boldly states to not rehydrate. Which I don't know how to do either yet anyway. Lol. Thanks again!

I took a temp and gravity reading, it seems fermentation is going on despite the lack of visible signs. Solid 70 degrees. Gravity at time of pitch was 1.057, now 1.022, so I think I may be good. Still worried about what it looks like though. Not sure if this is normal. My first batch had a...

The tape temp on the Paul said 70 at the time of pitching. I used a syphon to transfer the wort from the boil pot to the bucket. Did not aerate. The temp was at 70 in the pit before transfer (I cooled it in a tub of ice, not with a chiller), but jumped up to about 76 in the bucket, so I...

Thanks for responding. Temp is a solid 70. Recipe says 64 to 72 is okay. If the hydro reading indicates that no fermentation has occurred, what is my next move?

I found this forum searching for answers about no fermentation. I've spent an hour or two reading threads, but I'm still not sure what my next move should be. I'm brewing my second batch. First batch was an imperial blonde from a Brewers Best kit, followed instructions and it seems to have...
