Hey all, brewed my 8th batch Wednesday evening (2.5 days ago) and pitched my yeast at a few degrees above my fermentation temp as a friend came over. Brewed a milk stout and put 15L in fermenter when my last few have only been 10-11L in my 23L fermenter, and still had no airlock bubbling as of this morning. All my other batches had krausen and airlock bubbling even with lower volumes so I thought this was weird.
So I opened my airlock to take a peak inside, and saw a lot of bubbles but no krausen. Decided to take an SG reading and to my surprise it was already 1.020 after my OG was 1.047! I'm pretty sure my fermenter was sealed properly, is it possible to have a calm clean fermentation sometimes with no krausen?
