I brewed 8 gallons of beer 4 days ago, pitched the yeast and then put 5 gallons in a 6.5 gallon carboy and 3 gallons in a 5 gallon carboy. They both began bubbling in 12 hours and then 2 or 3 days later the 5 gallon carboy stopped.
I'm going to check the gravity tonight via hydrometer. There's no way a batch can ferment out in 2 or 3 days right? And that wouldn't make any sense right because they are identical batches. I stirred the yeast into the HLT before siphoning into the carboys.
I thought about pitching a new yeast pack or transferring 2 gallons from the 6.5 over to the 5 gallon carboy.
What should I do if the hydrometer reads 1.040? I think there is no chance it will read 1.010
