did a brew the other day where I re -used yeast from another brew .
The yeast was only about a day old.
I usually use about 500 ml of yeast off a previous batch and leave in fridge for a bit.
I pour off the water that sits on top ...this time I didn't , the water on top had not formed yet.
It started fine and all that.
Now it seems to have sort of stopped.
Usually all the foam on top dissapears after a week.
This time however , it is still sitting on top.
Probably a cm ( if that )brown bubbles .
OG was 1050 and is now 1010 , so that seems ok.
The temp has been a fair bit lower than normal. It has sat on approx 18 for 10 days.
Have I over pitched? or is this normal.
