This board is great -- I've learned a lot from you guys so far. This is my first post and I am a complete beginner.
Started a partial mash: buckwheat kasha, quinoa, teff, amaranth, with a little sorghum extract and white sugar--has to be gluten free unfortunately--bleh.
My OG was lower than expected, probably due to low mash efficiency--this was only my 2nd homebrew ever [read: I = lost]. But, I was okay with that since I was hoping for a beer a little on the wimpy side, as long as it is high enough to ferment.
OG: 1.03 at 70 degrees. I'm using SafBrew T-58 yeast. Temp range has been 66 to 68 or so. Batch size: 2 gallons (in a 2 gallon bucket).
It bubbled really well for the first couple of days (bubbles every 10 seconds). Now, on day 3, no bubbles. I waited for 2 minutes and nothing.
Should I crack it open and check gravity? Any chance it's actually fermented already--or should I just hold off a few more days?
-Cheers
