I brewed a belgian honey ale 13 days ago. Had really good fermentation for about 4 days. After a week (very litle airlock activity) popped the fermenter to find a VERY THICK layer of krausen. Thought ok.... Let her sit a few days.
I slightly agitated the yeast on day 9 or 10(still lots of krausen). About day 11, still krausen (no airlock activity)...... Day 13, still krausen and no airlock activity.
I used about 2 1/2 lbs of steeped grains, 3 lbs honey, 4 lbs of extract. OG was 1.056. Pitched a starter from WLP400 yeast and DME. Started to ferment in about 12-15 hours. Temps have been around 72-74 (hit 75-76 a few times due to higher outside temps).
I know I need to relax and it will be fine..... Just looking for some advice. This was my 1st brew with homey.
