Note that there will most likely be some foaming at the liquids surface – this is why a 30 L capacity vessel is recommended for a 25 L volume. During the first few days of fermentation, you may see a ‘cap’ of solids form on the liquid surface. If this happens, stir 1-2 times a day to mix back into the liquid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce your airlocks stops bubbling, this indicates fermentation is complete. This should happen within 7 days, providing the temperature has been 20°C (68°F) or above throughout.
