Brewed an irish stout on the 1st of December. Gravity was correct. Pitching temp for yeast (dry packet) was correct.

I've never brewed an Irish stout before. I don't have the big head of krausen with a super active airlock.

All I am seeing on the surface of the beer is a few bubbles.

Did I screw something up or is this typical for the beer style?

The room temp is 18C
 
The fermentation may be nearly done. Check the SG but plan to give it more time in the fermentor for excess yeast and sediment to drop out.
 
Just checked gravity, at 1.026 now. Really strange as there's no krausen and next to no air lock activity compared to the other styles of beer I make.

I have looked at it every day so I haven't missed a burst of activity
