brew at 1.020 after 2 days but no krausen or bubbles

[beoirmad]

Hi folks just wondering about my 2nd brew it seems to be fermenting but no krausen or bubbles started at 1.040 and after 2 days it is at 1.020 it is a youngs harvest larger with 1 kilo of dextrose and temp is 20c

The numbers would suggest its fermenting away, :hmm:
Is your airlock & lid tightly fitting? If not then CO2 may be escaping elsewhere so no bubbles are seen.
It might be the the krausen happened very quickly overnight? Is there any brown crap on the inside of the FV above the beer?

 

[PD]

keep it well covered..no peeping...and leave for 8 days then take another reading.

Thanks for replies guys yep checked lid and while I was down there just a little whistle like noise came from the grommet at the air lock so seems to be leaking there and yes there is faint scum line about 2in above the brew so fingers crossed will let you know in a weeks time how it tastes

your krausen has been and gone. :thumb: But it's still fermenting so leave it alone.
