Fresh pouch, starter went crazy. When a yeast is described as a "true top-fermenter", expect monster krausen.
I got huge krausen on the fermenters and in the starter flask, even with the stir plate going.
I saved a bunch of yeast from the previous batch, then accidentally froze it SOLID. After thawing, I put it in the flask with some sugar and thar she blows. 1 day later it was a giant sticky krausen, and another day later it clearly is going to sit there like meringue.
BTW, the kolsh was dynamite. 1 keg left. I'm brewing a light summer wheat with this yeast now.
