This last saturday I brewed a 10 gal batch of tri centennial ipa. Its all grain biab. I tried for the first time a temp profile mash and wound up with a higher efficiency than i have had in the past. Did a 60 min boil, chilled with an immersion chiller. Put the whole batch in a 14 gal plastic bucket and shook the hell out of it. Then pitched my hydrated yeast fermentis us 05. Put it in my fermenting chamber (old fridge) where the temp is 20 degrees celsius. I had an original gravity of 1062.
On sunday afternoon i went to check the activity and no bubbles. Fine i thought... they'll start soon enough... patience is a virtue.
Monday morning, same story. Monday night, still nothing, popped the lid to see the krausen, nothing there.
On tuesday morning i decided to go to the store and buy more yeast and repitch, but for giggles i took a gravity reading. And to my amazement the fermentation was almost at my desired final gravity 1022. Can someone explain to me what happened here. I have brewed this beer before and have always had the classic fermentation activity. Thanks guys
