Fermentation Question

[Dee74]

I am still very new at brewing. I brewed a Wee Heavy extract kit on Monday. I placed my carboy in a room in my basement where the temperature is almost always 65-67 F and has been at 65 F all week according to my wireless thermometer. Fermentation took off great, I was glad I used a blow off tube, foam and junk was constantly blowing through the tube yesterday. I went down to check my beer at 5:30 this morning. The krausen had dropped but it was still churning away and bubbling a couple times per second. I almost switched to an airlock but I was busy getting ready for work. I went back down to the room at 7:00 AM to get my coat and a new krausen had formed in a short amount of time and was vigorously blowing out of the blow off tube. I was surprised and glad I did not put the airlock on. Is this normal to get a second krausen on some beers?

I've had Saison yeast do that before but never with another style

Some yeast are slower than others. Just like some go to Harvard or MIT, while some go to a community college.

Yep it's fine. Some big beers do this.
