Fermentation update. The first 2 days fermentation went fast and furious like all of the standard ale fermentation I've seen so far. Then, from the airlock and krausen activity; silence. Temperature has been held steady right around 72F.
11/13/2015 - Fermentation check (day 6)
Gravity: 1.022
Taste: General taste is great. It's overly sweet as expected at that gravity. Definite yeast bite as so much is still in suspension. As described with this yeast, strong tropical fruit tones are already very noticeable.
11/16/2015 (day 9)
Quick visual check tonight, and to what do I see, krausen reformation and an airlock bubbling away.
I don't have much of an idea as to what the explanation is here. I see anecdotal references to this yeast hitting major growth phase around day 8. Still, I'm surprised to see it take off to start, then quiet just to pick up again. Airlock is smelling super tropical and delicious.
