Evening all.
New to the home brewing hobby - but have my first brew fermenting at the moment. However...after what appear to be a successful mash (apart from a sparge arm that refused to rotate...) and a prodigious initial krausen - it's all gone a bit flat.
The FV is still producing CO2, as the lid is regularly 'doming' (I've elected to keep the lid on in the absence of anything resembling a foam head). I roused the FV 48 hrs after pitching the yeast (I was away the 2nd night) to no effect, so pitched a 2nd batch of rehydrated Safale S-04 at approx the 96 hrs point. Still nothing like the first nights eruption.
I moved the FV into the airing cupboard this Wed - but the increased temp hasn't oden the job either. Any thoughts advice much appreciated.
