Recently brewed a 1.060 Maibock (which I know is low for the style) using Wyeast 2487 Hella Bock. I made a 2 L starter with 2 smack packs. Let it ferment for about 36 hours. This was my first time making a starter and I'm not sure I grew enough yeast. The ferment has been very uneventful and slow. I brewed this on 1/27, cooled to mid 40's, fermented at 50-52. The krausen has already fallen and CO2 blowoff has been pretty weak.
Has anyone had experience with this yeast being a slow goer? I know lager ferments are traditionally uneventful, but I usually get more activity than I've had with this. I'm concerned I didn't pitch enough yeast for the (relatively) high OG. Thanks!
