Update on the batch: bubbling in the airlock has slowed down substantially and I am 4 days into fermentation. It is bubbling once every 13 seconds.. is this normal for the date of bubbling to slow down? When should I start taking FG to determine completion

Now I know for next time! I love English bitters and as long as it doesn’t taste skunky I’m happy! Just super excited to be brewing

Thanks for the advice, lots of help.. I’ll forget about the secondary fermentation and just do 2-3 weeks in the ale pale it is currently in.. as for the yeast it is the saflager-23, As for now the best I can really do is keep it steady at 64 for the fermentation..

I decided to do my first home brew with this German Oktoberfest (currently 24 hours into primary fermentation) I found out when it was too late that I was unable to ferment lager style so I’ve got it sitting at 64 right now fermenting as an ale.. how will I know when to transfer it to secondary ?

i recently picked up a home brew kit and decided to get the brewers best German Oktoberfest lager but I didn’t realize until it was too late that I was unable to ferment a lager.. luckily the yeast included can ferment like an ale but now I am confused as to how long it needs to sit in Primary...
