Hello. Long time troller, occasional poster, first thread.
About a month and a half ago I brewed Yooper's dogfish head clone (extract). Pitched my yeast which I saved from the remnants of 2 Dead Guy Bombers. So, I assume it's pacman yeast; though I don't know for sure. I had made a 1/2 liter starter that was really bubbling away when I pitched. OG was 1.070.
Firmentation had taken off and in about a week and seemed to have stopped. I waited 2 more weeks then racked to secondary and dry hopped.
5 days later, racked to keg and took FG. 1.060. Christ..........
Made another 1/2 liter starter with the other probably Pacman yeast, let it ferment out and stepped up to a 1 liter. This nearly overflowed with Krausen it was going so well. I let it ferment out, put it in the fridge for a day then decanted and pitched the slurry.
A few hours later it looked to have the beginnings of fermentation......then......nothing.
I waited another week and a half just to be sure.......1.060. At that point I just decided to dry hop again (about half of the first dry hop) and was just going to deal with it and hope it turns out drinkable.
Now, 6 days into the 2nd dry hop...........it's bubbling again........going absolutly ape tits over here. I mean, seriously???
What the hell just happened.
Oh before you ask temps were between 66-70 (mostly 68). Now it's 64. Could that be it??
