I pitched some washed 001 into a batch a couple of weeks ago and after four days of no activity I gave up and bought a new tube, repitched, and two days later I was getting very healthy work. So healthy the airlock is even full of yeast blowoff.
Here's the problem I went to transfer yesterday (after two weeks) and there must still be a yeast head at least 1/4" thick all over it, like it's two days in. Normally after two weeks its pretty clear.
Soooo...what's going on here? Did my failure to clear out the airlock prevent the yeast from finishing off? How much longer do I need to wait before I can transfer this stuff?
