Hi all,
I'm brand spankin' new to the forum, and the artform of brewing as well. My first ever batch, a Black Rock Pilsner Blonde was started on Wednesday 10/3/04, and was happily bubbling away on Thursday Night/Friday morning. It was also bubbling away this morning (Sunday 14/3) when I got home from work at 6am, although not a vigourously as previous days. I just checked on it then 5.40pm and watched the airlock for about 10 mins. No joy, the airlock has stopped bubbling.
So based on the signs I've been reading over the past 4 days the beer is definately fermenting. There was airlock action, a residue at the top of the fermenter, so on and so forth.
I was of the impression that beer takes about 7-9 days to full ferment. 4 days seems to me to be a little too quick.
What could possibly be wrong? What should I do?
Yours in the consumption of cheap alcohol, :chug:
Pete
