On friday i brewed an imperial stout. I made a yeast starter the day before and the brew day went off without a hitch. Mash temp was 152F and hit my TG at a 76% effiecency. I aerated very well before pitching and i also added some yeast nutrient to the boil. The next day the fermentation was going nuts and was staying at around 72F. THe krausen blew out the top with blow off tube attached. THen the yeast quickly began to settle. Not unusual for past fermentations ive had but the SG was 1.093. Seems like it was settling out a little quick for that high of gravity. It is only tues and i plan on a 2-3 week primary fermentation, then a few months in the secondary before bottling.
My question is, has anyone ever had a similar experience using this yeast on a similar gravity beer? Just seems very quick. THe yeast is even settling out on the ribs of my carboy. I usually only see that in the secondary or a primary that is 2 weeks or more old.
