On Monday night I made porter (a kit, my second brewing attempt). The porter was placed in a 6.5 gallon glass carboy with an airlock. The airlock started bubbling almost immediately after being put into place, and continued to bubble VERY aggressively through tuesday evening. The active airlock bubbling was accompanied by visible aggressive fermentation "action" and foaming. After a total of only 24 hours, the bubbling had decreased to almost nothing.
At this point (Wednesday), I see NO bubbling a all. My IPA (in a 5 gallon glass carboy) from Sunday night is still bubbling strongly, and my Wheat (in a 6 gallon plastic bucket) just started up today, and is going strong. I'm becoming concerned that there may be a contamination problem or that the yeast has ceased activity early.
Is this a sign of a problem? Is there a remedy?
Thanks in advance for all yalz informed comments.
