Hey guys,
Brewed up a hefe last saturday, most everything went as planned. Anyway I pitched a yeast starter and aerated with o2 through a diffusion stone. By the next morning I had a ton of krausen. Now 5 days later it still has what appears to be krausen on the top. Will that eventually settle out or will I just have to rack from underneath it? Ive never made a wheat beer so this is my first shot with wlp300 and not sure if this is normal. The fermentor has been at a steady 68 the whole time. Any advice or experince?

Thanks
 
68? It will be estery, for sure. I ferment my Hefes at about 62.

Naw, a big krausen in a wheat is pretty standard. I have an 8 gallon batch of Dunkelweiss I brewed Saturday that still has a thick krausen, even though the airlock activity has mostly gone away.

A lot of the foam will be gone in another week.

:ban:
