Hey all,
I know there is probably a similar post to this, but I have been browsing for a while now without much luck, So here it goes...
I received my first homebrew kit a few days ago, Brooklyn Brew Shop - A Well Made Tripel. I followed the directions very carefully and closely. After adding the dry yeast into the brew I had gone to bed for the evening. When I awoke I rushed to check on my brew... Nothing was happening. I gave the jug a good shake and suddenly saw bubbles appearing in my cup of sanitizer. The bubbles continued for about twelve hours and then ceased again. Once again I gave the jug another shake in hopes of awakening the yeast. It bubbled while i shook but then ceased once I stopped. (There is not much foam in the jug or my cup of sanitizer at the moment, but there is a ring around the bottom 1/3 of the jug.) I removed my blow off tube and replaced it with the airlocker. I am worried that something may have gone wrong due to the lack of bubbles and foam. I have not tested the gravity because my brew kit did not did not come with the hydrometer. Does this sound like there may be a problem? If so any ideas?
Sorry for the rookie post. I am very excited to brew and just want to ensure things are going to turn out okay. If you need any additional information just let me know. Thanks in advance, and I look forward to becoming part of the Home Brew Community.
