Primary Fermentation bubbled for first night and stopped.

As per the recipe I chilled the wort and added the yeast at around 78 degrees F. A couple hours later it began bubbling. Overnight it bubbled vigorously until about 4:00 pm the next day when bubbling completely stopped. Should I be worried?

Nothing to worry about. All is well, let it be.

Don't be worried.

Next time, however, disregard instructions that tell you to pitch into 78*F wort. That's too warm by 10*F. Better to pitch at 64-65*F and then ferment at that temp too.

thanks, this is my first brew so I was VERY careful to follow the directions exactly.
I will be reading a lot from this forum before the next batch.

Is it okay to stir the wort during the first fermentation? or am I just being a n00b in asking this?

Your fermenter should not be open to stir.

Just let it be. All is well.
