Quick fermentation

[Baz Chaz]

Not quite sure what's going on but my brews seem to be fermenting quicker!

I know why two of them went quickly, used the Kveik Voss yeast ...

The pale ale which I brewed on Friday 24th OG was 1.045
Yesterday evening Mon 27th gravity was 1.008 !

Yeast was Lallemands Nottingham

I only recently completed and started using my beer fridge and maybe the constant temperature works better ? Pitched the yeast at 22 degrees, set the Inkbird at 20 degrees C and the brew set off at a gallop, could hear the airlock with the door closed!
Total of 80 hours between readings.

I've been brewing AG for quite a few years, looked back through the log book and found the odd summer brew which was done in 5 days, but usually 6 or 7.

The difference, the brewfridge ?

1.045 to 1.008 in three days isn't really all that fast.

Hi Rook, phoned a friend earlier, he wasn't that surprised either, he thought the stable temperature may have helped.

Must admit to really enjoying my return to brewing after a break!
