Hello, several day ago i brewed a gumball head clone. The OG was 1.052, 48 hrs later the reading was 1.007. I never had a beer ferment that fast, i used us-05, is this normal?

Thanks
 
What was your fermentation temp?

If your hydrometers are calibrated and everything else is normal, with this fast of a fermentation i would assume that your ferm temps were high.

I usually never check gravity within two days, but plenty of brews have significantly slowed down by day 3 or so plenty of times.

US-05 is pretty powerful stuff in my experience, especially if the temps get higher.
