Hi. I made a 2 1/2 gallon batch of Irish Red Ale. I used a yeast starter (Wyeast 1098 British Ale Yeast) and used extract ME with a partial mash. It started fermenting quickly but stoped after 3 days. I transferred to my carboy for secondary fermentation but it really didn't do much. I usually get good fermentation in the secondary on 5 gallon batches but this time almost nothing! The beer seemed fine with about a 5% ABV. I figure I got all the fermentation done in the primary but wanted to know if this is normal when doing a small brew. Thanks.
