I brewed an oatmeal stout Saturday, pitched the a healthy starter of WLP007 around 3:30 at approximately 84 degrees into 1.075 wort, hit it with O2 through a 200 micron stone, and put it into the fridge with a target temp of 68. It took overnight to get to 68 and the fermentation took off in a few hours.
Today, approximately 48 hours later, the vigorous fermentation has died down and the krausen has somewhat dropped. It went from a quick-firing belch (1-2 per second) to a much slower pace today.
I've only used it once before for an Arrogant Bastard clone. That ferment was really crazy with a lot of activity but I don't remember how long it took before slowing down.
No gravity reading yet, too early.
With that being said ... is this typical of WLP007 - a quick burst?
