Simple 5 gal extract brew with speciatly grains, English Light Ale. Starting gravity 1.042. Pitched around 74 F and had normal activity for 24 hours, but temp in fermenter was not coming down despite being in ~70 F ambient. I let the room temp fall back to ~64 F over night and the next morning my fermenter was down to ~66-67. It remained there for a week with little activity... racked to secondary at 1.018. Brew was quite cloudy at racking and smelled very... green? or strong at racking. It's been in the secondary almost a week at a constant 68 F, I haven't seen the airlock even change position, like nothing has occured. Got a good seal, its in a carboy with stopper... push on the stopper i can make the water move in the lock.
Did I somehow stop the yeast with too fast of a temperature change... or is there still some activity ongoing despite seeing no signs? Going to give it another week and take a reading I guess, would expect ~1.010 FG.
