Still fermenting after 6 days
Brewed a Wit last Sunday and it's still very, very active. Airlock is bubbling every 4 to 5 seconds with a thick krausen of about 1 inch still on top. Been like that since about Monday. OG was at 1.048. I've never had any go this long. Took a sniff through the holes in the airlock and seems to smell OK. Any thoughts?
slow fermentation
It's almost surely fine. Fermentations can vary in length due to a number of factor, and can sometimes last 2 or 3 weeks, maybe longer.
I don't make Wits, so I haven't used it, but I've read that these yeasts can be a bit slow and can get temperamental with temperature fluctuations and temperatures below the mid 60s.
