Fermenting slowed way down

[garvinator70]

Brewed my first brew 10/26 a light pilsner
My airlock has slowed way down . Should this be a concern?

No - usually you'll see the most vigorous (lots of bubbles) fermentation happen within 24-48 hours of pitching your yeast. Afterwards it will slow down and eventually you might only notice bubbling if you stare at it for several minutes. Assuming it did bubble for a while, right?

i would be remiss if i didn't mention that a pilsner is typically fermented with lager yeast and it sounds like you made an ale.

Sweat not what comes out of your air lock..... CO2 will escape, airlock, lid, someplace.

Watch the fermentation temps, let it go 7-10 days and take a gravity reading..what 48 hours and take another.. if it is stable .. beer is done fermentation.. then decide if your a let it go another week or more brewer or a if it's done fermenting Im drinking this stuff.. brewer.. package and have at it.

yep, everything sounds fine. Usually the first couple days after pitching is when you get the violent activity, then things slow down and will eventually appear to stop after a week or so. Just leave it alone for a few weeks and then take your gravity samples to determine whether fermentation is completed.
