UPDATE.... if anyone is interested.
My last post on this was 4 hours after pitching both yeasts and seeing no activity. The following morning it was on, 2" cap of krauzen and really cloudy. Well, now I'm approaching 2 weeks of primary fermentation and this morning prior to leaving work there was still a good inch and a half cap of krausen (you can see the line where it once was at it's peak height)and beer is still really cloudy.
Been fermenting between 59-62F.
I have no intentions on touching anything for at least another week before I take a hydro.
I'm sure I'm slightly worrying for no reason (my second brew ever, so don't have a large sample size to compare to....hence why I'm typing this
). But is this "normal" to have a cap and apparent (visual) fermenting still going? Does the krauzen sometimes not fall when fermentation is done?
Like I said, I'm going to give it another week before I take a gravity reading. Hoping things settle out in that time.
Thanks for any advice/words of encouragement!
