Brewed up a batch of Brown Ale on Sunday (3/30) and took the OG @ 1.056. Thru Tuesday night I haven't seen the airlock bubble once. Wednesday still no activity. I followed a recipe I have made 2 times previously and it was great beer. The only thing I did different was rehydrate the Nottingham yeast in water that ws boiled then cooled to 89 deg. I never read the back of the packet before, I usually sprinkled it on the wort dry and sealed.
Wed night I was concerned, so I sanitized my Hydrometer and took the FG, @ 65 deg it was 1.010, where I want it. I know its done, but it happened in 3 days with no airlock bubbles.
Can anyone explain this??
It smells right, and had bubbles/Krausen on top, I just haven't, in my 3 months experience, seen anything ferment this quickly, especially when I am duplicating a previous batch. Thought it would be more predictable.
