Subject: Large persistant bubbles in secondary
|
I am brewing my first batch of an IPA style ale. I let it ferment for
about 10 days in the primary and when the activity slowed down to about
one "blurp" through the bubbler per minute, I racked it to the
secondary; it has been in the secondary for about 4 days. It had very
good flavor at that time. After racking, it became fairly active again
for about two days. Now the activity seems to have stopped but I have
noticed that there are some rather large (1 inch) bubbles on the
surface that seem to just hang there. Is this a sign of contamination
or could this be an effect of oil from the hops?
Thanks

Sounds normal, I wouldn't worry about it.
John.
