This is my first home brew, so I am quickly learning, but none the less I still have a few questions and whom else to turn to but the internet to solve all my life problems.
Brew Facts and History:
Brew date 1/2/15
Extract kit from Northern Brewer the caribou, used Dry yeast
pitched the yeast at 76 degrees, the kit OG is 1.052, I hit 1.052 target FG is 1.016 to 1.014
I placed the glass carboy in the room with air temp being 67, the next morning the airlock was plugged and installed a blow off tube. After two days, I put the air lock back on.
1/17/15 FG was 1.020 beer temp 68, room air temp 67;
1/19/15 FG was 1.018 beer temp 68, room air temp 67;
1/22/15 FG was 1.018 beer temp 68, room air temp 67;
1/22/15 I transfer to the secondary beer temp 68:
Problem:
Well today, 2/3/15, FG was 1.017 beer temp 66, room air temp 65, I went today to check on it and the air lock was bubbling again I pulled the cover off the carboy and there is a layer of foam/bubbles on top again, I wanted to bottle the beer this weekend. However, after seeing activity again in the airlock, I am guessing that I need to wait until whatever is going is finished. The beer is very clear, taste like it has all along, and smells great. Maybe a few others on here can tell me what is going on with this beer.
Thanks for the help
