After the past few weeks of research/development of where I want to be at after a few runs under my belt leaves me with concerning question that I can't find any information about except for using instruments to measure which all poor folks can't afford. I don't have any fancy equipment such as a hydrometer etc... as I am just starting out and not giving up on a hobby i've wanted to start for a long time now
Concern:
Consistent bubbling activity a few hrs after adding activated yeast "5-10 bubbles per few seconds out of an 1/8" sterile oxygen tubing fed into a sterile container, 1" below the surface of water". 24hrs after I added the activated yeast to my ferm bucket the wash tastes like a spoonful of yeast. Is this normal?
