This is my first batch (NB caribou slobber with dry yeast-- windsor i believe). It was in primary (bucket) for 3 weeks, then racked into a brand new better-bottle that still had a good bit of star-san foam in it (on purpose, after pouring out the liquid star-san).
Well, the batch had been through a LOT, including pitching too warm, cooling down to mid 60's (ferm chiller), then back to low 70's (closet) after initial fermentation died down. It was in the closet for the last 2 weeks of primary. Nare-a bubble from the airlock (i know it's not an indicator of fermentation).
I racked into the better bottle, and 1 day after racking, the star-san foam bubbles (which appear clear) were replaced by these bubbles (kinda white/creamish). And the airlock was bubbling every couple seconds (as compared to "not squat" for 2 weeks).
It's just off-gassing, right? From me rousing the yeast by racking? And/or the nutrient qualities of the star-san? *fingers crossed*
I'm planning on bottling this batch (I don't keg...yet). I will be taking 3 readings as per protocol, but I just wanted to make sure I dont need to worry about bottle bombs.
thanks :rockin:
