I just brewed my first extract kit. After the first 12 hours I had lots of bubbling in the air lock and lots of krausen. On day three the bubbling has all but stopped and krausen dropped. Any tips.
 
Airlock activity is not a good indicator of fermentation. Depending on what you brewed I'd give it another week. Check your gravity and then check it again in three days. If it's constant then fermentation is finished. If not give it about another week and check again.
 
All good bro. Sounds perfect. Ride it out until at least day 10 (depending on the beer style and OG) and test a sample. Good luck. You've got beer, now it just has to finish up!
