While I'm not exactly a beginner the last batch I brewed had something very strange happen.
I brewed it on 7/6 and I opened my closet this morning to see that the bubbles had stopped on my airlock. So I checked the batch with a hydrometer and it's finished. Having never had a batch stop fermenting this quickly and doing this recipe once before I figured I'd ask here to find out why. And how I should handle this (I'm betting that it's fine but I'd rather ask the experts first)
The last batch took a little over a week to stop fully bubbling in the airlock.
It's a Citra IPA
It tastes like it should
I used two packs of yeast this time instead of one
I added maltodextrin at the same time as the yeast
Just wondering really why it would stop fermenting so quickly and if i should go and move it to secondary this early in the game.
