I'm fermenting an orange blonde ale with WLP008 right now, 5 gal, OG ~1.050, no starter. There was a snafu with my ferm chamber which dropped the beer down to 45F for about 24 hours a couple days into fermentation. I raised the temp back up to 65F and fermentation started again.
But it seems to be continuing even today, 15 days later. I'm used to fermentation ending in 7-10 days. The S-type airlock passes a bubble every 10 seconds or so and there is a very thin later light tan of krausen still. The temp is now 68F I may raise it up to 70F and let it go for another 3-4 days. I also gave the trub a stir a few days ago.
I haven't checked FG yet. I suppose I should today and again in a few days. Just curious if this was normal with this yeast.
