I'm new to the site and to all grain brewing. I made the below batch this past Saturday. So far I've dry hopped with 1/2 of the hops. My question is as follows:
Within 4-5 hours I saw noticeable activity. The airlock was popping every second or so. Today(Tuesday), I'm noticing that the activity is slowing. Seems to be one bubble every 15 seconds or so. Should I be worried that the activity level is subsiding this early? Did I make an error in the manner in which I made the starter?
16lbs 2-row
1.25lbs Thomas Fawcett Amber Malt* (see note below)
3oz Zythos
1oz Simcoe
1oz Warrior
Mix all hops together, and hop continuously for 90min** (see note below)
Mash at 149-150*
Starter made with Wyeast 1098 British Ale. Made a 3 quart starter which sat for approx 36 hours. Last 6 hours I put the starter in fridge and then discarded approx 2 quarts on top prior to pitching.
Dry hop:
2oz Zythos
2oz Simcoe
