No more bubbles :(

[reckoner]

Hey guys, sorry for another "did I ruin it" thread but I can't seem to find an answer to this one.

My brew has been bubbling away nicely for about 48 hours, and suddenly it has pretty much stopped completely, maybe 1 bubble every few minutes.

Is this anything to worry about?

Cheers!

Bubbles don't mean fermentation as long as the sg keeps drooping your fine.

Short answer: no.

Slightly longer answer: airlock activity is a very poor gauge of fermentation. Trust the yeast to do their thing in their own time and you'll be well rewarded.

Wait 2 weeks and then take a gravity reading

Here's a good explanation of what is going on with your fermentation and why you don't need to worry about the lack of bubbles. http://www.brewgeeks.com/the-life-cycle-of-yeast.html

Nothing is wrong. Stop worrying.
