So this is my First time Brewing. I have two gallon carboys fermenting at this very moment!, the first one started bubbling under 24 hours and the second one under 3 hours. Its now been 96/72 hours and there isn't much activity in them just a spotty layer of foam. i did a hydrometer reading straight from the mash at temps of 88F 1.035 and found out after the fact i need to take a reading of the total volume, its a porter style beer i was aiming for a abv of 3.8%-4.5% i searched porters online and came up with my own recipe and mashed at 1.75LB per QT, I've been trying to troubleshoot this issue?
Maybe its that the abv is low so its doesn't foam much ?
