Hi, all - quick question from a novice:
I made a Strawberry Pale Ale, standard recipe from a kit with 40oz of frozen strawberries. Wonderful fermenting period in the primary for 4 days. I have racked it to the secondary after those 4 days and combined cranberry extract (3oz) and a tablespoon of pectin.
It maintains a constant 62-66 degree and it has been nearly 48 hours and only a slight collection of foam (just a bit) on the top of the ale. No other activity. Should I be concerned? I am not use to secondary fermenting, so not sure. Should I pitch more yeast to increase more fermenting? Add any sugars?
My plan was to leave it there for another week before bottling. Thanks for your help.
