It was a kettle sour

Thanks so much! I appreciate it

I had planned on leaving in primary the whole time, just wasn't sure as to when to add the fruit puree. I want to make sure the sugars in the puree still get eaten up

Im doing a sour kit and the instructions spell out primary fermentation should be approx. 1 week, then secondary fermentation with the fruit puree should be started. My cap has already fallen and airlock activity has slowed after only three days. Gravity readings are at present 1.011 down...

Just starting out with Home brew kits and Ive had two batches come out with strong yeasty flavors. I let them ferment for the amount of time recommended with the kits instructions...Two weeks. Is that too short? Airlocks weren't bubbling any more. Would the flavor dissipate if left to...

Thanks! I was contemplating that, but some sites and people say the opposite....hmmm, what to do???

I added some fresh frozen fruit to my secondary fermentation, its been 10 days still with a bubbling airlock. Seems at times its real slow, Its not a constant bubble every 10-15 seconds kind of action. Sometimes it's like minutes befor I see it burp. I was expecting to be able to bottle by now...
