I am making an ipa with mostly citra and Amarillo. I let the primary go for one week and then transferred it to the secondary. I used Safeale-04 and it was extremely active within the first 24 hours but then sputtered out within 4 days. I figured it must have done the job because I had heard it was a very fast yeast.
So I transferred to secondary after one week. After 3 days it had settled out and wasn't fermented much at all. I added 4 ounces of dry hops right into the wort with no bag and gave it a swirl. Within a couple days, the brew is back to a steady bubble. It is know going on a week of secondary and its going strong. The brew is continuously swirly with sediments sinking and rising constantly. I'm worried it won't settle out in time. (I read that you shouldn't leave dry hops in for more than 5 days.) and I need to bottle some time this weekend if I'm to stay on schedule.
I though this was strange though, considering that I heard that dry hopping usually stops the yeast from fermenting further.
Can anybody explain why my yeast has started up so vigorously again? Thanks
