So not being a very experienced brewer and being the first time for several things I have questions. First off I ferment in a refrigerator and I use a Johnson controller. First time using a Yeast Starter, first time using Wyeast 1098, first time using a temperature prob and thermowell that is in the fermenter and the first time using a FermWrap heater.
Everything went together pretty well except I cooled my wort to much 65°F, 1.066 OG. I used an oxygen tank and stone to introduce oxygen to the wort, added the 900mL of yeast starter, wrapped the heater around the carboy and inserted the temperature prob and set the controller at 67°.
The next morning 16 hrs later my wort was in a state of High Krausen, 32 hours later high krausen had slowed 2 days later it slowed down a lot. I took a hydrometer reading of 1.020, one day later and my airlock has dropped. I haven't taken another reading yet but man that seemed fast, 5pm tonight it will be 7 days.
So does that seem normal? I don't remember my other batches working out that fast.
