Sorry, tried to wade through the fermentation sticky but didn't have a ton of luck with this particular oddity for me. Started a beer in the primary six days ago with an OG of 1.050 and have had zero blowoff, to the point that the lid of the bucket doestn't bow up at all from pressure. I checked the gravity today to see if there was SOME movement and it's actually down to 1.015, which is damn close to final. I'm confused...I realize that blowoff isn't always a sign of fermentation, but I can't imagine the beer got down this much in such a short amount of time without any co2 coming out. I was worried I had a sanitation issue, but now I have no clue what happened and I'm a little apprehensive to even bottle eventually. Thoughts? Anyone have experience with this? I've done about ten home brew batches and have never had a situation like this.
