So I will say off the bat that I'm missing a crucial bit of information - a gravity reading. When I get home tonight I will check and update this thread.
On Sunday, I brewed a stout. OG was 1.053. For the first time, I used White Labs yeast. It was the Irish Ale yeast. Also made a starter (1 Liter) for the first time. Within 8 hours, swirly activity was underway. Within 16 hours, very active bubbling. This morning, still some minor swirling evident but absolutely zero bubbling. By lunch, no swirling in the wort to be seen.
Temp has been a consistent 66.
Is this normal for this yeast / starters? I know bubbles are somewhat meaningless as a gauge, but with every other beer I've made, they've gone on, albeit slowly, for weeks. Also never had the vigorous fermentation end this quickly.
Sort of freaking out... Even if the gravity shows full attenuation, I will leave it a couple weeks for clean up, but very weird.
