It has been two weeks since I brewed my last batch. It was an IPA w/SG of 1.07, and I pitched a starter of a fresh vial of wlp001. It started up w/in a few hours like usual, and the airlock eventually stopped bubbling on the 3rd day as usual. I took a reading on day 8 and it was at 1.012, and I really want to hit a little lower, so for the first time ever, I sanitized my big SS spoon and ever-so-gently stirred the yeast back up into the brew. It started bubbling again and kept bubbling every 5-10 seconds for the first two days. Now its been 6 days since I stirred up that yeast and its STILL bubbling! About once every 30-45 minutes. I was going to take a reading tomorrow on day 15, but should I just wait until it has definitely stopped bubbling?
I'm very interested in what's going on, because I have never seen this before, or heard of it!
