So here's the deal. I've moved to secondary after a very successful primary. Racked on top of the fruit approximately 6 days ago. For the first 6 days I had steady activity in my blowoff (chose a blowoff because of violent fermentation from fruit). I took an SG on Friday (Day 4 of secondary) it read 1.022. The taste was extremely tart (used purée not extract) but the color and other flavors were great. Since taking that SG my fermentation slowed very drastically. I've got nearly zero krausen in the carboy. LHBS owner recommended swirling the carboy. I did and it's been two days since and still almost zero activity.
I'm concerned my fermentation is stalled. I plan on taking another SG read tomorrow evening at the one week mark and planned on fermenting the secondary for approximately 2 weeks before bottling.
Thoughts? Any opinions will be appreciated.
