My first all-grain has started to ferment. It is a German style ale with 10 pounds of 2 row as the malt. I used the Wyeast German Ale yeast and made a starter with Pilsner DME. The Starter did not Krausen. The beer itself is going crazy (krausen through the airlock, beer through the airlock. I put the beer on a bed of ice water today to ensure that the temperature stays 60-65 today. I thought that since the starter was a pretty uneventful fermentation, that the beer would be also. Does AG have an effect on fermentation?
I should have used the 1.25 inch blow-off tube in the carboy instead of my plastic pail.
