i wasn't really sure what the proper process for adding AE was to beer, so i decided to minimize transfer and add it to the primary. i put in 1 tsp for the 5 gallon batch, stirred it around a bit with a sanitized spoon and nothing much happened for 3 or 4 days. i figured either the beer had attenuated enough that the AE wouldn't make a difference or the stuff was bad... anyway, i decided to rack it to secondary just in case something started happening... after a few days in secondary, i noticed it kept bubbling every once in a while.. i figured just some gassing off... now it's actually starting to bubble a little more frequently and you can see little co2 bubbles rising to the surface like an apfelwein fermentation or something. i was expecting something more along the lines of a referment with a krausen and all... has anyone else had an experience like this? or does it normally build a second krausen, etc?
