Hey y'all,
So I have a double ipa in secondary right now, its been there for about 2 weeks now. I had it in primary for 1 week.
I've noticed that tiny bubbles are STILL going up to the top of the better bottle. And there's a big ole krausen on top. I know, i should be taking hydrometer readings, but I don't have one. I've read about CO2 coming out of solution due to temperature changes and such, but this has been going steady for 2 weeks now, and it seems like it's still fermenting against all logic.
I've never seen a secondary fermenter act like this before. To make matters worse, I think it's starting to smell funny, like dirty socks. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but let me know whatchya think.
Peace
DG
