It still seems strange to me that this batch is still bubbling(barely, but maybe every 30-60 secs) 16 days later. I have a batch of Irish red sitting right next to it that finished bubbling in 3 or 4 days.
I was referring to the valve at the bottom of my bucket fermenter. I'm always worried about sanitation.
I'm sorry but I dont know what it means to have finished attenuation.
I took a hydrometer reading, and I think it looks good. Maybe 1.016 or so?
I really appreciate all the input from you...
I got a refractometer thinking it would replace my hydrometer. I just started using it for ther last few batches. Maybe that's why my numbers aren't making sense. I thought I could use it before and after fermentation. I'll go take a hydrometer reading in the morning.
I just brew extract kits, this one is a kit from morebeer. I brewed according to the recipe. I can tell you all that if it's helpful. I used my new immersion chiller for the first time with this batch. The liquid yeast pack was really about to burst when I pitched it. The airlock blew off twice...
My original gravity was right what the recipe called for 1.065. Now it's 1.036 15 days later. Guess I'll take it for a few days and see if it's steady. No idea what it's supposed to bottom out at...
Hello! Im new here, I hope im doing this correctly.
I've got a 5 gallon batch of porter that is still fermenting (still bubbling) over 2 weeks after brew day. Is this normal or do I have a problem?
