Get a load of this:
On Saturday @ 1300hrs I put down a ESB Extra Special Stout with DCL S-04 (I THINK) Yeast. Did nothing special, just rehydrated yeast and pitched at 23deg in 19 litres of water, and fermented at 20deg.
On Sunday morning there had been foam spewing out the airlock so i cleaned up and put a fresh airlock in.
Got home from work Monday arvo and nothing. In 2 days gravity had gone from 1042 to 1014. So i racked it and now what should i do? I guess i will just leave for a couple of weeks then bottle.
Thats what i call a fast ferment, any reason why or is this just what happens with this style of beer.
