Double krausen

[LuisLozano13]

Hey, I brewed an oatmeal stout and I just transferred to secondary and it krausen again, I'm kind of worried hehe

Did you have final gravity before transferring?

Double krausen... what does it mean? Good one.

Ok, now the serious reply:

Why did you feel the need to secondary?
How many days in primary?
Ferm temp?

Double krausen all the way!!!!!!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I had this happen to me once with an all Brett IIPA. The krausen had dropped and airlock activity stopped. I was waiting for the weekend to rack and dry hop it. Three days later, I went to grab the carboy for racking and a new krausen had formed and the airlock was chugging away again.

I have no idea what happened. But it fermented another ~10 days.

FG 1.014, the beer was very cloudy, I raked to secondary and added some gelatin, and second krausen started to happen a few hours later but definitely looks like yeast

Just out of curiosity, how did you oxygenate the beer initially? If it was a little oxygen deprived, maybe that brought it back to life when you transferred.

This was likely just CO2 in solution escaping on nucleation points on the side of the fermentor you racked into. I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
