Over the weekend we brewed our first 4 batches - all extract kits but still a start.
On Sunday the first two, a Marzen and a Porter we bubbling like mad and we brewed another of each Sunday and got them in the fermenting chamber. Yesterday (Monday) the activity was slower on the first two and the other two were going nuts and had lots of foam.
Today - the first Marzen seems to have quit bubbling and most of foam is gone, Picture 1. First Porter is real slowly going and the other two have slowed down. Pics 2 and 3.
Is it possible that the first Marzen is ready to go into a secondary already? And are the others about there as well? This is our first set of batches and especially using a rehydrated dry yeast, I expected more lag and longer fermenting.
Let me know what you guys think.
