I've been brewing for a few years now and this is my second time using American Ale (WLP001). I've always liked the English strains mostly for flocculation and the fact that Cal ale is so popular. So I accepted the fact that its such a good yeast that i'm on my second brew with it now. (new strains). I am surprised at how slow the fermentation is compared to some of the English yeasts. Brewed an IPA on Sunday 1.066OG and 72 hours later it's at high krausen and reads 1.030. Just seems a little slow with both beers. I pitch big and oxygenate. What kind of results are you all seeing?
Both these beers i pitched at 63 and rose it two degrees per day until 68F.
