I am attempting my first Flander's red ale as the title states and have a few questions. Using the recipe in "brewing classic styles" and the Wyeast Roselare strain I have ten gallons of Flanders going in the back room of my house. No temp control. Here is my question. I pitched a package of Roselare into each carboy (6.5 gallon). The initial fermentation kicked off pretty lively and quickly. within 12 hours of pitching. Went much like a regular Sacro ferment and then stopped about 5 days into ferment. It has been about three weeks now and it is super calm with no build up on top like I was expecting to see. Just some soapy looking bubbles here and there. No airlock action at all. My question is as follows: Should I rouse the carboys? Seems like there is nothing going on and I am wanting to see the bugs kick it. Or is this normal? Please shed some light on this strain. New to it and just want some piece of mind. Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Josh
