Made a Newcastle Brown clone two weeks ago. I got good airlock activity after about 10 hours and it looked like a good strong ferment for 3 days or so before it started slowing down.
I then let the temp comp up from 19.5C to 20.5C to try letting the yeast work on any byproducts. It has been sitting at that temp in my ferment chamber (freezer) for two weeks.
Every time I've opened it to check I've seen a bubble or two from the airlock per minute. I haven't noticed this on my other beers, but this is only the fourth beer I've brewed and only the second I've fermented at my place (brewing buddy babysat the first two).
I'm cold crashing it now and will check the FG and keg it in a couple of days.
Has anyone seen that sort of behavior out of the airlock before? I'm worried I picked up some infection or wild yeast or something.
