Nailed it. First time using that yeast too

Took another peek at it most of it has dissolved and it's now 3/4s of the way down the carboy. Smells malty and awesome 😊

My APA with wlp644 seems to have stopped active fermentation just after 30 hours. I was wondering if anyone else had similar results. I'm going to pull a gravity reading when get home. A little background on the yeast. I picked up two vials on Friday made a 1 litter yeast starter and put it on...
