My Barons Mexican Cerveza is in it's third day in the primary. Acording to the directions supplied with the kit, "In 3-6 days vigorous fermentation will subside, and the head of foam on top of the wort will drop. At that time you must rack the beer into the carboy."
O.K., the beer in the primary is making my house smell good but I have yet to see "the head of foam". Unless you are talking about when I mixed the ingredients.Thewort was showing a lot of fermentation the second day but today it has slowed. Still showing a bit of fermentingand bubbling though.
My question: I'm new to beer making so I need advise on when to rack this wort. Is my wort progressing as expected and what indicates (other than the aforequoted directions) when the wort is ready to rack?
