Fermentation haulted

[dannyl]

I used a white labs WLP051 Yeast in this 5 gallon session ipa I'm brewing. I did a yeast started and when I pitched the yeast it started producing co2 pretty quickly. Within 10 hours it was bubbling pretty quickly. Now 3 days into fermentation, I'm getting close to no bubbles in the air lock. Should I agitate the fermenter? I also have yeast nutrients. Could I use any of that?

That sounds pretty normal to me. Just let it be. As long as you're in the temp profile of the yeast your okay.

Would you mind sharing your recipe. although you did mention session IPA which means relative low gravity, so the yeast will not have that much to munch on, plus a yeast starter, which would favor a burst of activity up front and then tailing off typically.

Little to no bubbles after 3 days isnt uncommon. Especially with a low OG beer. It may very well even be at final gravity now, but definitely let it sit for at least another week to finish up. What temperature did you pitch and how much yeast? Higher temps and more yeast will get you a quicker fermentation too
