To note I have been brewing for years... have no idea... at least 500 brews by now.
Anyway... the last 5 or 6 brews, not the same beer, not the same yeast.
A month after brewing, a good 3 weeks past fermentation - and what is this? ... a 1/4" head and plenty of airlock activity.
I cannot imagine this is just excess c02 escaping, this isn't a few bubbles streaming to the top.
My Johnson controller is messing up maybe? Allowing the temp to get to cold in the fridge chamber?
Although suspecting this on this brew, and the last one, I checked the temp in the fridge multiple times and it was always right.
No I didn't check gravity... I know... but I have brewed this way for years and never - ever seen such late "restart" of a fermentation, let alone 5 times in a row!
This brew I made 5 weeks ago, I brought it into the house a week ago. When I brought it out of the fridge it was all cleared up, everything neatly compacted on the bottom.
Now the beer is cloudy again with a krausen... auugh!!
