Hi there, I've currently got an 8 gallon British strong bitter on the go (OG: 1.060) and I've used wyeast 1318. Yesterday, 6 days after brewing, i skimmed all the yeast off the top and then refitted the lid, and squirted a load of CO2 in through the blow off tube. I got 2 jar fulls and put them in the fridge. However I now notice there is no activity in the blow off jar, where as before, it was popping gas every 5 seconds or so. I know i need to take a reading to see what gravity it's at, and I will, but I'm just wondering if I took too much yeast? And if the apparent fermentation was coming from the krausen, even though it's at or nearing terminal gravity? I would expect that after 6 days it's pretty much done now and it's in clean up phase. Did the beer need the krausen to clean up diactell, etc?
Thanks for any help. Cheers!
