Hello all. It's my first RIS and first time with 007. Needless to say I was expecting a blowoff, but only got a small 1" krausen.
Below are some details, just trying to learn more about this wonderful hobby!
OG: 1.093
3L starter w/ stir plate, extra chunky
Fermentation ambient temp ~ 59-62* (basement)
Beersmith target FG: 1.022
After 5-6 days krausen completely fell in, no co2 bubbles rising to the surface and no apparent activity in the carboy. Sample @ 1.036. From some research I was worried about stalled fermentation due to cold conditions for 007 to finish properly. Stirred yeast gently & moved upstairs to 68-70*. Picked back up nicely.
What the hell happened? Just too cold in the basement for 007? Was my experience normal? I'm just guessing at this point.
