Hi all
So I have had an ale fermenting very slowly for a few weeks now (20 degrees). I used ringwood ale yeast. Now it was still fermenting down all be it very slowly, but after a couple of weeks and having the hydrometer still read 1024 i decided to add a teaspoon of yeast nutrient to the fermenter. Well after only a couple of minutes the tub is bubbling away like its on fire and it looks to be that a nice looking krausen has formed on top. I wasn't really expecting such a quick response from the little yeasties. Would this be normal? or have a done a silly silly thing to said slow ale?
Thought?
