Hey everyone,
I've finally started my first ever beer brew using the Young Brewbuddy starter kit.
I followed all instructions and it seems to be going well. I am 4 days into my brew and it smells alcoholic and is kicking out plenty of gases (I had to open one edge of my brewing barrel as it was inflating the lid!)
I had the krausen (apologies is spelt wrong) form at about day 2 but by the end of day 3 it had gone back down. The temperature has been a constant 20 degrees Celsius.
Now my only concern is that I took a hydrometer each day and it has stayed the same since day one. I is consistently reading 1.040. I fear that nothing is happening as the reading is the same for day 4. As I said it definitely seems to be doing something and is bubbling away like a soft drink. Is this normal or should I be worried that something is wrong?
