I started fermenting a 5 gal. pale ale using double pitching and a yeast energizer. Overnight the fermentation became very violent coating the top of the carboy with large amount of kreuzen. If I had any less headspace I would of had a spectacular geyser. It was bubbling constantly and the wort looked as if their was a snowstorm sending particles to the bottom. Don't know why. Never had this happen before. This lasted for one day then all activity ceased. Tried all the recommended technique for restarting fermentation. Didn't work. I measured the ABV at 4%. I expected at least 5%e. I couldn't confirm my first FG reading as I broke my hydrometer. I guess all that excitement. I racked into another bucket to get rid of the massive amount of crud but still no action through the debubbler.
My question is this - Is it possible that the entire fermentation was completed in one day?
