Hello All,
I have a general question related to my Wit Krausen not falling. I've searched other threads and seen some other similar situations. Details below:
Pitched Wyeast liquid Belgian Wit yeast smack pack (no starter, won't do that again either)
Had normal solid fermentation for about 4 days and then it slowed the final three days. I racked the beer to my secondary after 1 week (took my gravity reading after racking) I won't do this again because it was too late to realize my gravity was still low before I had racked.
Needless to say I gently swirled the beer around inside my airlocked secondary and got fermentation started again. Started fermenting again pretty solid for about another week and developed another 3-4 inch healthy head of Krausen on top of my brew in the secondary. So I'm pretty sure my gravity has dropped at this point to a more desirable level.
My only question now is the Krausen appears to be hanging around with no plans to drop. I'm planning on taking a final gravity reading in a week or so and letting it sit in my primary for two more weeks. (One week in primary, 3 weeks in secondary.) Has anyone else had Krausen not fall, and if so will this cause any problems with my brew leaving it on top for a couple weeks?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
