Krausen duration

[wntbtrbeer]

New brewer here, just set my first batch, brown ale, to fermentation 2 days ago. I've been reading to see how and what I'm to expect. The Krausen started after a few hours and got healthy during the first 24 hours, but now is starting to subside. One article I read mentioned a Krausen time to last 2 to 6 days. My question is this: Is there any difference in the quality of fermentation for a longer lasting Krausen than a shorter lasting one? If so should I expect any fermentation problems here?

If the Krausen drops after just a short time you will end up with beer. Longer durations also lead to beer.

PS, Krausens that are of average duration also lead to beer.

Thanks for the feedback, I feel better now.

That made my day.

The only dangerous amount is none. Just like beer.
