Hey fellas, I'm fairly new to the all grain world and so still finding my way a bit. I just brewed up a batch of House Pale using the Jon Finch recipe on Friday the 27th March. The grain yield was poor leaving a wort of 1032, so I added approx 350g of DME which i happened to have in the cupboard which boosted the gravity to 1054 which I was chuffed about having been disappointed by the original grain yield. I checked if on Sat 28th and it didn't appear to be very lively or bubbly through the airlock and I've checked it today, Sunday 29th March and again zero activity to speak off although there was a whiff of gas in the fermenting fridge (set to 19c using an inkbird switch jobby). The gravity reading today is 1020 so I reckon there must have been some level of fermentation and the beer sure tastes good. My question is therefore is that speed of fermentation likely or even possible ? Or is the general opinion I've brewed a dud batch ?? Any advice gratefully received. Best MarkyB
