So I just finished brewing batch #2 (pumpkin ale) and the OG was 1.055 so I attached a blow-off just to be safe even though my primary fermentor is a 6.5 gal. bucket. I'm just curious, how will I know when there is activity since there is no airlock to bubble? and also, when will it be okay to remove the blow-off and attach the airlock since the blow-off is taking up needed space in my closet?
Recipe was:
6lbs amber malt extract (3.3 lbs LME, remainder DME)
1/2 lb Wheat Malt
1/2 lb Munich Malt
1oz Perle for 60 min
1oz Hallertau for 5 min
steeped gains for 15 min at 160deg.
added 1 lb pumpkin to 1/2 gal water and heated to 160deg for 7 min and put in fermentor before adding wort and topping off with spring water.
