I used WLP500 for the first time yesterday.
Made a decent starter, and saw signs of fermentation after 5 hours, so I know I didn't under-pitch.
24 hours later and it is going great, but seems to only have a small amount of kraeusen on top (quarter to half inch).
With other Belgians I have used, it would be trying to crawl out of the fermenter by now. This yeast seems tame compared to other Belgian yeasts.
I do use FermCap, but that doesn't seem to affect other Belgian yeasts. It is currently sitting at 72 F.
Anyone else noticed this yeast being 'tame'
