Well i look for krausen in the carboy, not bubbles in the airlock. No problems with bubbles.

I also have a blowoff hose attached to an airlock, leading into a jar of sanitizer solution. I got constant bubbles.


I'm confused by this?

You determine whether or not it's fermenting by the krausen? not the bubbling airlock?

I was confused also, but I just figured I'd wait for more explanation.

I've said it before, the lack of airlock bubbling is not the difinitive indictaor of fermentation completion, but active bubbling is ALWAYS an indicators that it is NOT complete.

If you can see inside the fermentor its pretty easy to tell if something is happening. I used to not use airlocks at all but used a piece of foil.
