Got a corn/barley wash going, about a gallon's worth (test run), and it's been bubbling at about 1 bubble about every 2 seconds, for the last 2-3 days. I never saw anything I would describe as furious or violent bubbling out of the airlock, it's been pretty steady. Is this a slow fermentation or am I on a good track? I used the recipe on the home site for no cook mashing whiskey, FYI. If I smell above the airlock I get a strong corn smell, like stuff is happening, just want to make sure that I shouldn;t be adding more yeast or anything (I put in about 3 grams of whisky yeast.
Thanks
Fermentation - How fast should it be bubbling?

Thanks. Do you remember for how long at the start? I actually remember that I started it at nite right before I went to sleep and then did not check it until I got back from work, so it actually could have had a long time to do a stronger fermentation before I checked it. I guess smell and result will be the only way to know for sure.
