fermenting slow
 

after 5 days of fermenting cherry wine, the airlock is bubbling much less.
At first it bubbled a lot, even bubbled over. Now it has slowed down
considerably. Should I be concerned? There is a brown, tannish film at the
top of the carboy. Could this be the yeast stuck on the side when it
bubbled over. Thanks

The yeast is using up the sugar and it should slow down. Sounds like it is
going just fine. The film is probably where it bubbled out.

Did you remove and clean the airlock and put in new sulfite solution after
it bubbled out? If not you should do it now.
