Hi everyone,
I'm brewing my second beer, a saison, which has been in the fermentation bucket for about a week and a half. It's only a 2 gallon brew and I pitched a whole Wyeast packet (3711) without a starter into it because I read it shouldn't be a problem. Anyway my blowoff tube wasn't bubbling much so I took a gravity reading and got 1.012 with an original gravity of 1.095. After I took the reading I stirred the yeast and now it is bubbling about once every 5 seconds through the tube. I'm going to check gravity tomorrow but I'm worried that it won't stop fermenting. Can gravity go below 1.0? I don't have a secondary fermenter so it will be bottled after this. I don't want to prime and bottle this and have it explode in the bottles. Any help? Am I just worrying too much?
Thank you!
