Hey All, Just finished 2 batches of beer. 1 American IPA and 1 Hefe. This is a close to having a baby i've ever been so i get a little worried about the health of these large bottles of liquid goodness. I just wanted to check in to see if things sound like their going well. My question really is the health of the IPA yeast. The IPA was initially the strongest bubbler and i had to put a run off tube on it. A lot of foam came out of the tube and now the top isn't very heady at all, especially compared to the Hefe. Yeast activity has gone from very strong last night to one bubble every 40 seconds or so. Since i haven't used run off tubes too much i was a little worried that too much stuff went out the tube. Anyway, does extremely busy in the first 10 hours to one bubble every 40 seconds sound good for an American IPA? The room is at a solid 60 degrees F. Also, if you have any general recommendations for primary, secondary and bottling schedules i'd love to have your input! I'm very excited about my soon to be 8 great batches of beer, thanks for reading.
