I made a gallon batch of IPA with harvested Pacman about two weeks ago. It was a great move; since I used a clear gallon wine bottle as a fermenter, I've been able to watch the yeast do its thing for the first time (I've previously only used buckets).
However, it's been two weeks at this point, and the krausen still hasn't fallen completely, even though every time I check on it I see nice big yeast clumps drifting lazily down through the beer.
Do I let this one sit until the krausen has fallen completely? Is the lack of a fallen krausen an indication of anything in particular, or does it just happen sometimes that a krausen won't fall?
