So I started my graff on Sunday and everything seemed to be going quite well i had a good two inches of krausen the next day it turned to a beautiful frosty white head now its all gone... i began to worry about my yeast, i took a gravity reading 1.010... this stuff is flying i used white labs ale yeast and changed the recipe a tad and added no hops. the sample smelled great so i tasted it woww this stuff is coming along very nicly it tastes good now i cant wait till its finished!!! brew some!!

I'm making some in about 30 minutes! Is krausen normal on this stuff? I know Apfelwein doesn't have any. I'm asking because I'm putting about 5 gallons into a 5 gallon carboy, and don't want to lose a lot of product to blow off.

I just did my first graff last Thursday, it had about 2" krausen, same as OP. I used US-05 at 62 degrees. I racked at 1.010 and sample already tasted quite good. Cant wait to see it in a couple more weeks. If it gets better with a little age, I will be impressed how quick of a turnaround it is to start enjoying.

1.055. I cold crashed mine at 1.010 so it would keep some of the sweetness and aroma. The sample had a nice tart taste with a little sweetness, not too dry.

Graff was the second thing I ever made, and I have to say it is one of my favorites. I always have some bottled, and I'm making another batch this weekend.

It's also really easy to make! I'd definately recommend it to any newbie brewer.
