I made a Roggenbier two weeks ago and pitched WLP300 straight from the vial (Usually do a 2L starter for everything, but this was a spur of the moment brew and didn't have time).
First few days were crazy, lid blew off (quickly put back on), strong fermentation for 6 days, and it slowed down to about 1 bubble every 30 seconds or so.
Got busy with work this past week, and was planning on kegging it on Sunday, but realized the airlock was still going. Is this normal? usually all bubbling ceases after about a week and a half or less, and since Hefes are usually quick beers I'm a bit intrigued. Has anyone ever had this happen before?
Havent popped the top off to check the gravity, or for infection, but gasses coming off the airlock do not seem to have any off scents.
Fermentation temp ranged from 68-70.
