We're a little over a week into primary for our second batch, Revvy's Kentucky Common. We did stove top all grain BiaB, and our efficiency was pretty low. We used wyeast 1056 and fermented on the cool side, 63-64. Well at least that's how it started out.
Our ac brok. This happened with our first batch too, but this one was at least protected by the basement's ambient temp. On the fourth day the airlock was still bubbling rhythmically, and the reno started to crawl up about a degree each day. The bubbling continued until last night. After a full week the temp had reached 69 and the bubbling has reduced to about 1 bloop every two minutes.
Should my beer have been bubbling for this long? I hope that the ramping temp just kept the yeast active, but I'm concerned that I might have gotten some wild yeast. I've been trying to relax and just let this happen but I'm starting to fret. I don't wanna pop the lid and expose it to my basement air just for a hunch, so I was going you fine people could weigh in.
Thanks!
