I have my first wash fermenting currently. I should say first of all that I am new to this and this recipe was provided from a local guy I know that has tried it many times. It is a simple dextrose wash. I used around qq lbs of dextrose to 5 gallons of water and used an entire pack of turbo. I pitched at around 72 degrees F. After a few hours the bubbles were extremely active with all kids on bubbling. I have it fermenting in a 6 gallon glass carboy. This was Friday mid day and now (Sunday morning) it is only bubbling about every 20 seconds. It is in a dark space at room temperature (70 degrees F). I also have now wrapped a blanket around it. Have I lost this batch or is this typical? Thanks.

Its almost done. Let it settle out a few more days and run it.

Introduce yourself at the welcome center. And do some reading here. Youll learn why you shouldnt have used that turbo yeast and youll find a lot of really great recipes.

Get something to measure yiur s.g. Bubbles can't tell wether its done or not.

And what Jimbo said ^^

People here are going to rake you over the coals for using that turbo.

As for your question, I would think that it's almost done. You can get a hydrometer that will let you take readings on how much alcohol you have in your mash/wash, that's really the only way to know for sure. I'd let it sit for a full week from when you started it and then run it.

You did well . You have a great wash almost ready for cleaning runs when you get to that point . Then you can finish the mandatory reading required here about what I just said . I'm not flaming you in the least , friend . You just need to spend a bit more time here and gain a better understanding of what the hobby is and what it tales to reach that goal .
