I pitched a 3 liter starter of Wyeast 1028 into 11 gallons 1.064 wort on Saturday morning. The wort was 64 degrees. By Sunday it was blowing off and was about 70 degrees. The krausen had fallen completely by Tuesday and was back down to 64 degrees. There does not appear to be any activity on the surface of the beer. The temperature of the ferment was controlled. Basically it just rose freely up to the 70's then back down as fermentation slowed.
The gravity is at 1.018 which is about 71% attenuation. I'm going to leave it for a bit longer to see if it goes down anymore. I hope that my yeast didn't crap out to early and not attenuate all the way. Has anyone else had a similarly quick ferment with this yeast?
