Hello everyone,
I am the guy everyone loves to hate...the guy after a week who says "somethings wrong...should I shake it?"
After 8 days the fermentation has slowed A LOT. Perhaps one bubble every 10 seconds. I did up a one gallon batch...but poured in the WHOLE pack of Lalvin 1118 yeast. (OG 1.070)
Could the bulk of the fermenting be done? Is that normal for most fermentation's....that the bulk is done in the first 7 days? This being the only thing I have ever brewed I have no comparison..
The recipe says 4 weeks...but are the last three very slow? Could my lalvin have ate threw all that AJ faster? When comparing the yeast it did say the lalvin was super "vigorous"
OR AM I JUST BEING CRAZY? Should I just shut the door on the closet and wait 3 more weeks to take a final gravity?
Thanks...
