I brewed my barleywine on Saturday, and after some pretty active bubbling, things had really quieted down by yesterday, to only bubbling every couple minutes. I used 13.2 lb of extract, a pound of turbinado sugar, 2 packets of Scottish ale yeast, and 2 tsp. yeast nutrient. I checked this morning, and the krausen has fallen. I expected it to ferment pretty vigorously for a good deal longer. Did something go wrong? Should I pitch more yeast? Rouse the yeast (but would that present a danger of oxidation, since I opened the lid)?
What, if anything, do I do?
