Hi,
I'm fairly new to homebrewing. I've been doing grain with malt extract for my first few batches and they have turned out very well.
Every time I rack my beer into the carboy, after a couple of days i see tiny bubbles rising and collecting around the edges of the surface of the beer. Is this fermentation, or something else? I'm hesitant to bottle while I see this happening, even if the gravity reading has stopped changing from day to day.
I notice that a simple glass of water will collect air bubbles if you leave it for some time. Is this what these bubbles are in the carboy?
I'm really eager to bottle a stout that i'm doing at the moment, but would like to hear some feedback from more seasoned brewers about these tiny bubbles before doing so.
Thanks in advance.
