T58 Yeast, fast?

Tue Oct 14, 2008 8:08 pm

I did a wit this last sunday, and pitched rehydrated T58 yeast at about 6pm.
Started fermenting fine...
It's tuesday and it is barely bubbling!

Could it be almost done already?

It may or may not be done converting sugars into alcohol, but it is by no means "done." There is still a lot going on that early and I would give it time to consume some of the bi-products of fermentation.

+2 to what these guys say. Don't rush it off the yeast.

Of course, it will sit at least a week, but I was just wondering...
Usually it goes rapid for 3-4 days and tapers off.
2 days seemed quick!

I know... relax and have a home brew... maybe a Honey Blonde tonight!!
