AndrewC5 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hey guys im making a homebrew Little Creatures recipe found on this site, Its been 4 days, and it seems like its stopped bubbling. So i took a reading and its at 1.020, and the OG was 1.040. What should i do? Im not sure if it will drop more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC5 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 also, during the last 4 days, i didn't notice much foaming and when i opened the barrel (unsure of the real name) to add second packet of hopps, the foam was patchy and not a constant layer.

PB2 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 There would be not much foam because it has collapsed back into the brew. Sounds like it's fermenting, be patient. As of day 7 take a sample and measure the SG each day until it stabilises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC5 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 mkay. ill take a sample in a few days, my only worry is that its stopped bubbling, but its sealed tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 If you were physically in the room with us right now, apart from plenty of beer being consumed, there would be a few brewers lining up to give you a Chinese Wrist Burn... It's all okay! Watch the DVD, read the Brewing FAQs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Waters Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Nice one Paul...I wonder if the kids still do that! Andrew - Sounds ok to me. Do as PB2 says and take a sample at the 7 day mark and check on your progress. I'd usually say something about not trusting the airlock about now but have been accused of being like a broken record in the past so I wont.
