5 days, no fermentation

[Shooter]

I arrived home tonight and had the hydrometer at the ready. I went into the brewing facility (closet) and found that my airlock is going crazy. Apparently fermentation has really picked up, so I've decided to forego the hydrometer reading this evening at just let this whole scenario play out.

N00b brewing lesson learned: Have faith in the yeast.

Thanks guys!

Mmmm, beer!!!

You can explain this till they are blue in the face, but the only way those new brewers will learn is to experience the situation themselves. I, once, was that new brewer....

i think thats exactly it, you really need to experience the feeling of thinking that you have no options to really appreciate that patience really pays off once your brew gets back on track.

Glad it picked up thirdcity
