So I brewed an oatmeal stout with my brewing buddy on May 5th and the beginning fermentation seemed pretty normal. A few days of aggressive krausen (although a bit less aggressive than some of our other brews) and it leveled out nicely becoming dark and dropping all of the noticeable sediment.
2 weeks after our brewday I decided to rack to a secondary because I was in need of a larger fermenter to be opened up.
In the back left corner you can see the secondary stage at about 3 weeks since brewday showing no visible surface action. However, when I arrived home on Monday night after Memorial Day vacation I found something I have never seen before, after 4 weeks from being brewed it seemed the stout became active again.
Has anyone had this ever happen to them? Is it a normal phenomenon or is it something I should be worried about? I have never had an infection before so I am not sure if any look like this that late in the game? It looks to me like yeast build up along the edge surface of the beer but I have never seen it do this before so I am pretty worried about it...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
