Next installment in my bizarre belgian wit saga.
I asked a question about my wit that seemed to have not finished fermenting:
The consensus was to rdwhahb and let it ferment another week. I did, and was then going to bottle it. Unfortunately I got busy and let it sit. Now it's been about 3 weeks. There was no bubbling in the airlock after about day 2 and the CO2 pressure didn't even seem to be that high in the 3 piece airlock.
Now, this morning, suddenly the fermenter is bubbling, CO2 pressure is up to normal. What the hell?
Can yeast suddenly come back to life and start fermenting or does this indicate a potential wild yeast infection has taken hold?
The only change in the room was that I left the A/C on a little low last night and it was probably 65-68 in the room. I don't see how that could cause anything.
I asked a question about my wit that seemed to have not finished fermenting:
My starting gravity was 1.055. The airlock bubbled for a day or so and then stopped (yes, I know this isn't a reliable indicator of anything). After about 3 days I took another reading, and got 1.027. Now a few days later I'm still at or very close to that gravity. This seems high to be finished at considering my starting gravity.
