I brewed up a fairly big beer on 7/29. I used Pacman, which is my normal yeast of choice.. Fermented at 62F. The first 3 days were very active. I had a blowoff and had to replace the airlock.
The beer is still fermenting in primary after 10 days. Its not vigorous, but it is pretty steady. Last time this happened in secondary I had to pitch an infected batch. I'm hoping that is not what I'm seeing.
I'm going to open up the carboy on Friday, so I'll get a taste and a gravity reading then.
Has anyone else seen an active fermentation go this long and still ended up with good beer? Mine usually stop by the 4th day so this is new to me. I'm getting a little concerned since I've got about $30 worth of Citra hops in there with the beer. If it was my blonde ale I'd be less frantic.
