Good to hear it's underway. What yeast are you using? It's funny to hear you don't have any krausen; I use White Labs WLP400, which is a monster (I've had to use a blowoff rig every time),

Me: "What's this Estrella Damm? Is that a lager?"
Waiter: "No, it's more like a Michelob."
Me: (holding my tongue) "Sure, why not."
So I get the beer, and he comes back after checking with the bar and says, "Yeah it's Portuguese Bud Light."
And you know what? That's exactly...
