i brewed 2 beers yesterday, a pale ale and a choco porter. They each used the same yeast (a repitch from a previous batch - wyeast 1056). Brew day went great, numbers were dang near perfect, I awoke to a nice 1/4" krausen on each beer. Fast forward 9 hours later, the pale ale has 2" krausen, choco porter's krausen has diappeared. I can see the yeasties swimming around (or whatever it is they do) and some bubbling but absolutely no foam. There are some sorta spooky looking bubbles, similar to the bubbles from a (i think) lacto infected (also choco porter). Both of these beers are over 1.06. I used a yeast calc and gave them what was called for.
btw - my first choco porter that went south was mashed with a chocolate cereal, yesterday's had a cup of unsweetened cocoa at 30 mins.
any thoughts?
