Two days ago I brewed a batch of Irish Draught ale according to the Northern Brewer recipe. I pitched a 1L starter of WL Irish Ale yeast and after 24hrs the krausen was coming out of the blow-off tube. 48 hours later the krausen has completely disappeared, but there's still quite a bit of activity (i.e. yeast swiriling around). I'm not particularly concerned, I just find it very curious to see that rapid action. I wonder if the use of flaked oats had anything to do with it. I know a starter speeds things up, but WOW!
