Brewed a PM IPA on the 16th, and it didnt get into the bucket untill about 10pm. I pitched one pack of safale s-04 (first time using it) into 70F wort.
The next day, the 17th, it was bubbling like crazy in my basement of 65f. All of my beers have a quick start to fermentations. The weird thing is today the 18th there is no air lock activity.
I know air lock doesnt mean anything but ive never seen this happen, and I try never to open my pail for at least 10 days for a reading. I have heard s-04 is super fast, but even if it was finished there should still be enough risidual pressure to pop a few bubbles out. Anyways should I just open her up and take a reading?
I always used s-05 but wanted to experiment, I didnt realize this was english yeast and now my IPA is more english IPA.
