I have split the 5 gal batch of my robust Porter after 10 days in primary.
I flavored the one batch with "barrel-aged dark cherry, Vanilla" using 2 vanilla beans. The other is the original "Robust" Porter recipe. The fermentation action in the air-lock dropped down drastically after about 2 full days, which I've heard is normal sometimes?
When I split the batch, the bubbling in the air-lock had stopped completely!?
The Krausen has vanished completely?
I know they say give it some time for the yeast to clean/clear the Beer up, but
Is this still normal?
It smelled great when I was filling the secondary carboys!?
I also noticed a very, lite soapy looking film on top of the robust Porter?
Am I worrying for nothing?
How long do you think I should keep this in secondary, before priming and bottling?
Is there any hope for priming and carbonation in bottles?
Sorry for all the questions, but this is my first batch of Home Brew and I want to get it Right!!
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers!!
