Can someone tell me if this is normal or not?
I thought it should lay on top for atleast 10 days.
Had an OG of 1.065....
 
Some yeast are real top croppers and create a big head late in the ferment, towards the end. Some don't. Some just drop. Don't worry. Take a gravity reading if you're super worried. Otherwise, let it sit a few more days, then take a gravity reading.

Many of my beers finish basically fermenting in ~3 days.
 
Duvel! Tasty yeast.

I have it in house, but haven't used it in a while, so couldn't say about the head dropping.

You made as starter? Fermentation started quickly?

Anyway, whatever the case, I wouldn't worry about it. Wait a week and measure the SG.
 
Only 7liters so i dropd starter.
Started imidiet and went on good for two days with a nice foam.
