I just brewed my first AG yesterday. I have a sanke fermenter with a setup I bought from brewershardware.com that seems to be working great.....anyway my question is this. How long until I start seeing some yeast activity in the blowoff tube?
I know it depends on the beer and the yeast. I brewed a raspberry wheat (10g) and used two white labs yeast containers. I plate chilled the wort to 65*-68* and aerated it with oxygen through my oxygenation/thermometer setup I got from morebeer @ ~4 LPM the entire time. I brewed yesterday and it has been in the fermenter for 10 hours. The thermowell is giving me a 64-66* reading, which is ideal for the yeast (according to the label)
I woke up this morning and gave the beer in the keg a good agitation. I am starting to see some blowoff beginning....just wondering how long it takes until the yeast starts to really go crazy.
Thanks
Joe
