I brewed a California Common five days ago using Wyeast 2112. The activator pack really didn't expand as much as other strains I've used but I pitched anyway. Well, now I've noticed that my beer is apparantly fermenting pretty slow. I was getting airlock bubbles about every ten to fifteen seconds for the second day. Now the past few days I have noticed no bubbling in the airlock. I have been giving the fermenter a gentle swirl every once in a while and then I get some airlock activity for a few hours. Is this common for this strain of yeast? Also, now it's been five days ,and assuming it's still activley fermenting, this is the longest primary fermentation I've had. What do you guys think?
