Default What do you think?

I have a APL that has been sitting in primary for about 20 days now. I did a split batch and everything seemed to go fine. There was the initial 4-6 days of heavy activity-all went silent until about day 18 one of the batches started having activity again. Do you think this is infection? I have massive allergies so I can't smell a damn thing. The second split seems fine.

If you can't smell it then I suppose you will have to give it the taste test.

When I took the sample there were tiny air bubbles rising up, like carbonation bubbles...that makes me think its the yeast eating and producing CO2. Agree?

I think you are going to have a real tasty pale ale in about a month
