      Hello all, I am letting a peach schnapps mash sit and after 3 days it has stopped bubbling thru the air lock, not sure what to do, after the 2nd day it was bubbling just returned 3 days later and nothing.
      Thanks

      It is possible it is done fermenting.

      Did you take a starting gravity reading when you made the mash?

      Regardless I would let it sit a week- that gives the yeast time to settle to the bottom of the fermenter.

      What is the reading with the hydrometer currently? Is it a brewing hydrometer?
