So I made a beer 5 days ago, OG was 1063, expecting FG of 1014. The yeast (S-04) never made one bit of krausen, but the gravity is now at 1020, so clearly it has been busy. I've never seen anything like this before, any ideas what's going on? And should I be worried that it's going to have something wrong with it?
More details:
Started out with a half-pack S-04 (it was a 3 gal batch), and Monday afternoon, I thought I'd take a peek in the bucket, and saw no foam or any kind of indication of fermentation, other than it smelled a little boozy. So I added the rest of that pack of S-04. Just checked on it again, and still no foam or anything, so I took a hydrometer sample. Temps have been between 62F and 66F the whole time (as measured by one of those stickon thermometers).
