I tried brewing an IPA ~2 weeks ago (first homebrew attempt), and just stuck it into secondary fermentation. It was bubbling actively pretty quick after putting it into the primary fermentation but I noticed it had slowed considerably (to a virtual stop) recently. I had hoped the bubbles would pick up in secondary fermentation, but its not really doing anything (its been in the secondary fermenter about 4 days).
I made a few mistakes while brewing so my hopes aren't THAT high for this batch.. but I was wondering if you had any ideas whats up. At this moment it is a little cold (64 degrees) in the tub the carboy is in, but its been in the 67 +/- 2 range virtually the whole rest of the tiem (and its hot int he house right now so that should be fixed momentarily).
I used dry yeast... I had two bags (what the brew store gave me),a nd just used one. The instructions didn't really specify if I should use either or both, and a friend just said pick one. Should I have used both? If so... should I sprinkle the other one in or is it screwed?
Thanks!
