Hi Guys,
Just wondering if you have even seen primary fermentation be over in as little as five days? I am new to all grain and we did our two first all grain brews on the weekend. A Rye IPA and a coffee stout. Apparently the airlocks are not bubbling as much so my brew buddy wants to rack to secondary. My worry is that the Rye IPA recipe says 10 days of fermentation and the stout says 2 weeks......Even if he is not seeing activity in the airlock would fermentation still be taking place? Just dont want to mess up our beers. The OG was 1.070 and 1.065 for the beers respectively so I would assume there is plenty of sugar to ferment. Any and all advice appreciated.
