Brewed, cooled, and pitched on Wed. evening @ 8:00pm. Checked beer @ 6:00am and there was very aggressive fermentation (bubble every 3-4 seconds). Slowed to 4-5 bubbles a minute that evening and to only 2 bubbles a minute last night. This morning there weren't any bubbles, as if fermentation has stopped.
This is a smaller batch (3.5 gallons or so)
Munton's regular ale yeast (I will not be using it again as the reviews I have read are not good)
Brown Ale with an OG of 1.042 (which is what the LME instructions called for)
Nominal temp of 72-73F
Should I take a hydrometer reading just to see where I am at? This is my first brew, so I am getting acclimated to all the nitty gritty details.
