Thanks. Just never seen it that quick and passive, the two seem in opposition. Also I’m not confident I’m reading and adjusting the gravity reading correctly, would have been nice to be shown rather than just read how, but I appreciate your thoughts / advise. I think with this batch I will transfer to a secondary fermenter, something I don’t do for fear of contamination, and dry hop then as it’s an IPA1.014 is a typical final gravity reading, unless you started with an extremely low gravity wort. So it's done, and was probably done quite fast. At the 30 hour mark (nearly 3 days), you oxidized your beer with the aeration. And the second pack of yeast found little to consume and dropped out.
77ºF is a very warm fermentation temp, which contributed to the fast action.
now a second batch, same situation; after 30 hours in temp of between 72 and 68 degrees, dry pitched SF 5, no visible action. Over 20 batches in a row and never had this, now this is the second in a row. I have not taken a gravity reading yet. Would if I should warm the batch up, re-aerate and re-pitch?
Yes US-05. I just don’t know why now two batches is a row act so much differently than all previous. Just get frustrated when I can’t see any action. Not even like little foam like bubbles in the bubbler, nothing. I know people who almost routinely deal with bubbling over and use a tube onto a bowl of water. I get zip.
It’s a bucket but really does seem well sealed. There is a beer smell in the room so I’m thinking that’s a good sign
