Hello,

I am a new brewer (7 batches) but I am observing something I have not seen.

I brewed a witbier and everything looks great but the krausen is not falling back into the beer. I am not worried but wanted to know if there is a reason for this. Is this common with the style?

Every batch I have made so far once the majority of the fermentation is complete the krausen fall and eventually the surface of the beer clears (usually within the first week). In this case the krausen has fallen but the surface is not clear and it has been a week.

I used WLP400 yeast for this brew.

Thanks in advance.
 
Looks like the pitch was a week ago, so it's a bit early to be concerned about krausen not falling.
If it's still hanging around in another week, give the fermenter a gentle rocking and it should collapse and fall...

Cheers!
