Hi folks, was wondering if my fermentation method needs a changin, using a regular bucket with I hope airtight lid and an airlock, last 2 batches wern't very bubbly, I usually use 1-2-3 rule but latley beers have been a bit yeasty/green..I have also moved from the coopers style kits to the more professional wort, all 23 liters in one big box, haha, lazy I know..Anyway this is the first one i've done, (Oatmeal stout) Brew store owner told me to just sprinkle on yeast and forget it..Don't hydrate, you may kill the little buggers. I did just that but found myself PEEKING like every 10 hours still to no bubbling..After 2 days i raised the lid a peek and did find the wort to be very heady and rising,krappy around the top portion.. fermentaTING I GUESS EH? Anyway if you know where i'm comming from let me know..I wish I had the patience to just run the primary, and walk away from the stuff for like 10 days, but OH NO I have to peek, let o2 in and all that stuff...Hahahaha..
thanks
Andy
