The usual panic.

[cerevisia]

Brewed beer on Sunday. Monday it was bubbling up a storm. Tuesday it started slowing down and stopped. Sure, it's still Tuesday night right now but should I be worried? Just seems to have stopped too soon..

[Chris Banks]

What yeast did you use?
Has it stayed approximatley within the yeasts temp range?
Also have you reached anything close to the final gravity you are expecting?

[cerevisia]

Haven't taken a hydrometer reading yet, but it's stayed at around 22 degrees. The yeast is just standard stuff from a can of coopers. I use it all the time and don't have any problems. Guess I'll just have to wait and see now. :)

[cerevisia]

Update: Just took a hydrometer reading last night and it's nearly ready to bottle - all good! :)

[Chris Banks]

Good stuff !
I recently brewed a stout with S33 yeast that stormed its way to final gravity in 48 hrs at 16-18c - it was bubbling so violently I could hardly keep the starsan in the airlock!

[cerevisia]

Heh awesome! Yeah this one was going absolutely crazy during the first two days then stopped which got me worried, but it seems all good now. Will bottle this weekend! :D

How are your hops doing?

[Chris Banks]

My big ones are going a bit crazy the first half doz shoots have climbed six foot up and making their way up the horizontal ropes already!

[cerevisia]

Nice! I think mine might give me hops this year.!

[JR]

must be the phase of the moon

[cerevisia]

Yeah could be, though I thought the full moon was meant to be the best time to brew..
