i have a honey ale that has been in secondary for a week so far. its starting to ferment again today.
i followed the recipe except for adding another pound of sugar while cooking it, and the dry hopping with 3 types of hops 1 oz each: somcoe, amarillo, and cascade.
it was in the fermenter for about 4 weeks. OG was 1.064 and FG was 1.010 at the time i put it in secondary. since secondary ive been shaking it up occasionally and watch it release some CO2 trapped and mix up the hops. today it started fermenting again. it has bubbles coming up, airlock activity, and a krausen appearing, although small.
this is a second run for a yeast i harvested from my last batch if that is any useful information relating to this.
is there something i did wrong or is there an explanation why this happens? i assumed that after 4 weeks of activity it would be out of gas.
