Hey all, second brew here. So I brewed an extract batch with 9.15lbs of extract, few lbs of specialty grains, and I did a large yeast starter, about .45lb of DME. I had an incredibly aggressive first few days of fermentation, tons of blowoff etc, but now, 4 days later, the fermentation activity seems to have died off, which is strange I feel. Giving the carboy a strong swirl to rouse everything lets some trapped CO2 out, but it seems the actual fermentation has slowed alot, maybe 5 or 6 six bubbles a minute, whereas yesterday it was going along nicely. I'm using Wyeast 1028 London Ale here, any wisdom as to whats going on brewgods?
