Making a WIT and using Wyeast 3944, which is similar to WLP400.
I am seeing similar fermentation as the WLP reviews at:
http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/strains_wlp400.html
In about a week and my ales normally have had the yeast crop drop at this point. I have a good fermentation and hit it with pure O2. The thing is still creating o2, I am assuming this is why the yeast is still on top.
Several people talked about "swirling". Would you only do this if you were not getting attenuation? or would this help out in getting the yeast to break apart on top to settle out?
I am using a bucket and can't see inside unless I open up, rather not stick anything in there to stir it either. Other people use 3944 without "swirling"?
